Publisher's summary

"The master of ticking-bomb suspense" (People) returns with a devilishly good thriller, and reward seeker Colter Shaw's most personal case to date.

Just hours after the harrowing events of The Never Game and The Goodbye Man, Colter Shaw finds himself in San Francisco, where he has taken on the mission his father began years ago: finding a missing courier bag containing evidence that will bring down a corporate espionage firm responsible for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths.

Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another. Suddenly, the job takes on a frightening urgency: Only by finding the courier bag can he expose the company and stop the murder of an entire family - slated to die in 48 hours.

With the help of an unexpected figure from his past, and with the enforcers closing the net, Shaw narrows in on the truth - and learns that the courier bag contains something unexpected: a secret that could only be described as catastrophic.

Filled with dozens of twists and reversals, The Final Twist is a nonstop race against time to save the family...and to keep the devastating secret Shaw has uncovered from falling into the wrong hands.

Still like the main character. Not the inaccuracy.

See previous review re: giving Shaw's mom multiple professions. Not impossible but she'd have to have been a genius who started college at 10 or 12.
Wolf packs in eastern California? Nope. Only at Mt. Lassen near Shasta.
Saying the homeless either have schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder? Um, no. Substance-induced psychotic disorder, some Schizophrenic, some Bipolar, some PTSD. Borderline? Really. Most Borderline folks are quite functional.

The car in the movie Bullitt a Dodge Charger????? Good gravy. Clearly, Mr. Deaver did not SEE the movie. It was a Ford Mustang!!!!!

Excellent ending to the series

This series ender was all that I hoped for. lots of twists and turns but nothing too obvious. I hope Mr. Deaver continues this character for some time to come. if so, I am very much looking forward to the next Colter Shaw book.

Not my favorite!

Didn't enjoy this one as much as I have the others. I felt it was a little disjointed and and I kind of got lost a couple of times :)

Not the author’s best work

This installment in series was not as well crafted as previous installments. Had it been a standalone, I would not have read to the end. The first half was confusing with so many different characters at play without really developing them. I also felt that the appearance of Adele just in the nick of time to save Colter was really farfetched and unlikely. It did pick up towards the end and improved somewhat.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING

Family should always come first. Never understand estimate the lengths they will go to protect their own. Miss understandings can always be forgiven.

Loved book

The third book is the best. It takes the first 2 to give a complex family history and develop the characters. Wonderful insight into living off the land and being a survivalist. Throughly enjoyed.
