About this ebook

The astonishing final installment in the page-turning trilogy that Stephen King calls “an authentic work of American genius.”
 
Niceville has an almost unearthly beauty when the sun tops the ancient nearby mountain called Tallulah’s Wall and bathes it in soft Southern light. But there’s a reason Native American tribes avoided the place:  An absence that inhabits the air and the depthless “sink” atop Tallulah’s Wall. This “Nothing” has long bent time and the desires of a chosen few to her shadowy ends.
 
As THE RECKONING begins, Detective Nick Kavanaugh and his wife, family lawyer Kate, have accepted that reality in Niceville is not normal.  Seemingly, they’ve fought Nothing to a draw. But now a buzzing emerges in the heads of some perfectly normal folks. Nothing isn’t finished.
 
Come to Niceville and sink into Carsten Stroud’s inimitable blend of crime and supernatural thriller, as characters you’ll love throw in with bad guys you’ll like way more than you should as they battle evil.

Ratings and reviews

The writing, wit and character dynamics are awesome. But I was still left with a big question about who the Nothing really was. I may have to go back again and search for more clues. Overall, these were the best books I've read in years. Hate to see it end 😥

Hope to read more from this author. Enjoyed the entire trilogy from beginning to end.
