With only a duffel bag full of clothes, a few bucks stolen from his father's dresser, and a guitar, his most prized possession, Tyler disappeared without so much as a goodbye. Eighteen years later, and Tyler, now the frontman of a famous band aptly named Stone Mountain, finds himself returning to his hometown for a one-night-only benefit concert to support his old friend, Doc, who lost feeling in his legs following a childhood accident. As Tyler ascends the mountain, memories of his childhood come rushing back--memories of his abusive father and despondent mother, of the friends he left behind--and he quickly learns that, for many people on Stone Mountain, the past does not feel like so long ago, and not everyone has been eagerly awaiting Tyler's return. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the concert, resentment simmers just beneath the surface, and Tyler finds himself confronted with faces new and old: there's Curt, Tyler's childhood best friend, now Stone Mountain's chief of police, and his star officer, Deb, an out-of-towner who may have bitten off more than she can chew by accepting a job in Stone Mountain. And then there's Freddi, Curt's wife and Tyler's former lover, a woman whose questionable dealings and fraught history with Tyler will become the catalyst for a tragedy that will upend each of their lives and threaten to validate Tyler's worst fear: that \"Stone Mountain is the kind of place you might escape from once, if you're lucky, but not twice.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnder the Falls \u003c\/i\u003eis at once a propulsive thriller, a gut-wrenching portrait of a tight-knit rural community undone by the sins of its past, and an unflinchingly honest depiction of how porous the line between right and wrong, good versus evil, can become. A stunning, deeply empathetic novel, one that takes Russo's penchant for character-driven drama to thrilling new heights.","brand":"Random House Large Print Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47950535131325,"sku":"BS-TC0-346950","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9798217346950-HD.jpg?v=1786008898","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/under-the-falls","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
