What would you do for vengenance

The Other People by C.J. Tudor; 2020, $27.00; 324 pages; Ballantine Books, New York, NY; 978-1-9848-2499-8; checked out from Multnomah County Library, Central; 3/13/2020-3/17/2020

One day as he is driving home a face pops up in the back window of the car in front of him, it is his very young daughter and she says Daddy.  He follows her as long as he can knowing that she is at home with her mother.  Once he loses contact with the car he begins to rationalize that it couldn't be her because he knows she is safe at home with her mother.  Then he finds out that she and her mother were killed in an aborted robbery at their home.  When he goes to identify the bodies he is so overcome with grief that he can't and his father in law makes the id.  Over the years that follow he begins to suspect that forces beyond his control are at work and that his daughter.  Many believe that he has cracked under pressure, until circumstances bring a few people to his side.  
That is all I will say, it was a thrill ride of a  read.  I will look forward to more from the author.
