"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 forty-eight 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.

The Final Twist is the third installment in the Colter Shaw series and although it can be read as a standalone you will probably want to read the first two books first, as they make for quite an addictive read. In this novel Shaw finds himself trying to track down the persons responsible for his father's death and discovering the reasons why. Shaw is sent on a hunt to locate evidence that will give him the answers he is after, although this mission is highly dangerous and time is running out.
This novel hits the ground running from the opening pages and the tension and action does not slow down. Espionage, danger, mystery and conspiracy is at the heart of this novel. Deaver's writing is highly descriptive and it was easy to picture the action unfolding, just like watching a movie. There were many anxious moments where my heart was pounding in my chest. Shaw and his family are bad-ass! Having been taught survival skills from their father and facing one threat after another, I was confident they would outwit their opponents and was rooting for them to do so.
A fast-paced thriller with twists and turns along the way making this quite the gripping read I was hoping for.
