Spencerville – Nelson Demille

Description

Spencerville by Nelson DeMille is a gripping standalone thriller about second chances, unfinished business, and a small town ruled by fear. After a lifetime in covert intelligence, Keith Landry retires and returns to his hometown of Spencerville, hoping for peace and quiet. But the shadows of his past aren’t as dark as the new threat waiting at home—Annie Baxter, the woman he once loved, is now married to a brutal, controlling man: the town sheriff.

As old feelings between Keith and Annie reignite, so too does the danger. Sheriff Cliff Baxter is not just a jealous husband—he’s a violent and powerful figure with the entire town under his thumb. Keith has sworn off violence, but in a place like Spencerville, that promise may be impossible to keep. The lines between justice, vengeance, and love blur as Keith is pulled into a tense, deadly confrontation that forces him to decide just how far he’s willing to go to protect the woman he never stopped loving.

Taut, intense, and full of suspense, Spencerville is a classic DeMille tale of love, loyalty, and standing up to corruption—no matter the cost.
