    The Neighborhood
    • It’s not such a beautiful day in the neighborhood... From the acclaimed author of the Logan West thrillers comes a gripping new novel that showcases Matthew Betley as a master of the unputdownable page-turner. For the residents of Hidden Refuge, it starts as an ordinary Friday night. However, when men posing as police officers arrive at their homes, ordering an evacuation for their safety, the night quickly spirals into chaos. Unbeknownst to them, Hidden Refuge harbors something that dangerous men desire, and they are willing to kill to obtain it. Among the residents is Zack Chambers, a seemingly ordinary programmer and family man, who possesses skills far beyond what anyone suspects. Though he hoped never to use his deadly abilities again, Zack is determined to protect himself and his neighbors, even if it means confronting a small army of trained killers with only his wits and a motley crew of allies. As the night unfolds, blood will be shed, old scores will be settled, and shocking twists will emerge. This thriller is propulsive, brilliantly plotted, and infused with Betley’s signature blend of gritty realism and heart-pounding action.
