It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Publisher's summary
The third novel by award-winning mystery writer Michael Koryta featuring private investigator Lincoln Perry. Once a rising star on the Cleveland police force, Perry ended his career when he left one of the city’s prominent attorneys, Alex Jefferson, bleeding in the parking lot of his country club—retribution for his affair with Perry’s fiancée.
Now Jefferson is dead, the victim of a brutal murder, and his widow has called upon Perry for a favor he knows he shouldn’t grant but can’t turn down: to find Jefferson’s estranged son, partial beneficiary of the dead man’s fortune. The case is simple enough, a routine “locate,” and he’ll be paid plenty of money for the work. The encounter should be simple, too: a brief exchange of information and maybe an empty condolence before Perry gets back into his truck and returns home. Instead, he’s loaded into a police car and taken to a rural jail while Jefferson’s son is zipped into a body bag.
Perry soon learns that Jefferson’s millions are the target of a thirst for revenge that hasn’t been satisfied by blood. As a pair of deadly assailants push deep into the investigator’s life, they bring with them police from two states who are determined to see Perry in jail.
Building on the skill that prompted the Toronto Sun to call him “one of America’s best young mystery writers,” Michael Koryta makes A Welcome Grave an intense exploration of the lengths to which a desperate man is forced to go to clear his name and solve a crime. This is a thrilling new book that justifies the critical acclaim and solidifies his role as an emerging talent among today’s top writers.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can. I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Any additional comments?
Near the end of the first part they shot the dog in the head while it was running to it's owner. Had NO relevance to the book. So why ruin the book by angering animal lovers, thus losing followers? Just another book to return, and another author to ignore.

workmanlike
Perhaps I've reached a saturation point with this series. The reading is first-rate, the story moves along well, there are lots of perilous encounters to overcome for the doughty hero . . . But there are some silly things. A GSR test would have cleared Our Hero from the false charge of murder, but basic police procedures were neither followed nor mentioned. The whole antagonistic cops thread of the plot was pretty much a simplistic plot device, annoying for causing hardly-believable complications. But with some suspension of disbelief, the suspense is good, the story complex but not too complex to understand, and there is enough revenge going around to satisfy anyone.

Interesting Characters & Story keeps you guessing
Michael Koryta is only 33 years old and has 12 novels! This blows me away. I have only read the first three Lincoln Perry novels (the 4th is in my cue, and then I will venture outward and read one of his other books). In my opinion each of the three Lincoln Perry books is better than the one before.
This latest books forces Lincoln to deal with issues from his past. The case involves the death of Alex Jefferson who was tortured, killed and dumped in a field. The police quickly set their sights on Lincoln as a suspect because Lincoln had a past with Alex who was married to a woman named Kare who was, at one time, engaged to Lincoln. In order to prove himself innocent, Lincoln goes on a hunt for the real killer — hired by Karen!
I will not go any further with the retelling of the story so as not to spoil it for others. But also, I could never do it justice. The characters are fully developed and the plot offers many twists keeping the reader guessing as to who committed the crime. My favorite part of any novel is getting to know the characters. That part is far more important to me than any plot twists. I am a character-driven fan.
Michael Koryta does not disappoint. He lets us explore Lincoln’s thoughts and know his issues. But even better he also allows me to know the characters around him. I am rooting for Lincoln to further explore his relationship with Amy because Mr Koryta has let me get to know her and like her. I am yearning for Joe to return because I think he balances Lincoln and that Lincoln will be less interesting without him.
So, why am I so happy to know that this author is only 33? Because it - hopefully - gives him many, many more years to write and to develop these characters who I am starting to think of as friends.
BTW: I saw one very short review which criticized Scott Brick as the narrator. I disagree. I like his subtlety, and I love his ability to distinguish Lincoln and Joe.

Not a bad detective mystery, but not great either. Drags a bit in the end, so be prepared for a lapse in an otherwise evenly-paced detective fiction.

A weak and soft protagonist.
Lincoln Perry was hard to get behind in this book. Unrealistic dialogue throughout. All the characters were weak. And with a pro like Scott Brick narrating, it made it sound foolish at times. I usually enjoy this authors books, but this one came across like it was rushed.
