Overview

Kate McCall’s husband is killed by her teenage son, Luke, in a tragic bow hunting accident--an incident that sets into motion a series of events, culminating in a dramatic, life and death confrontation with a gang of killers.  Included in the gang is Kate's first love -  an ex-con who himself is struggling to persuade his former colleagues that he really did lose the heist money. Peter Leonard displays remarkable maturity for a first-time novelist in both the language of his protagonists and plotting the story - the twists and turns of a love affair, an unrequited crush and a kidnapping/extortion plot complement a tightly-drawn, intimate cast of memorably quick and dim-witted characters all set around the Leonard family's home turf of Detroit.  QUIVER marks the entry of a powerful new voice in crime fiction - and a masterful and powerful debut.

Peter Leonard's debut novel is a rich palette of everything dark and ominous that exists in crime fiction.... Leonard's well-crafted prose is perfectly realized by narrator Scott Sowers, whose voice seems designed for this chilling story. Sowers reads with passion and a thorough understanding of this crime caper, relating the story in a natural yet understated performance. Leonard's characters are real and believable, and Sowers never fails to bring them to life with a flair for honesty in his delivery. This memorable listening experience just might have listeners coming back to the story again and again, each time experiencing it on a new level. -- AudioFile magazine, winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award&nbsp;<p>&#8220;Peter Leonard makes an honourable debut in the same genre with this story of family, tragedy, of encroaching danger and of redemption. Scott Sowers narrates with flair.&#8221; &#8211; Canada.com
