Reviews"This twisty tale of teen's desperate plan to save his sister and right his off-keel family is a compelling coming-of-age thriller that will entrance you with its '60s vibe and backdrop, and captivate you with its engaging storytelling and a believable cast of characters -including one heroic kid you can't help but to root for."-- USA Today "A unique thriller and also a coming-of-age story: the not-so-sentimental education of an impressionable teen. Mr. Parker has given us a well-designed flashback to a tie-dyed time that in some ways seems like the day before yesterday and in others feels like a century ago."-- Wall Street Journal "Parker is one of the greats, and has been for years. ...Pick up A THOUSAND STEPS, and journey to a California that only Parker could deliver with such vibrancy and verve. In a story that will squeeze hearts and steal sleep, Parker uses his prodigious talents to bury his readers deep in that special time, to make them travelers in the past, white-knuckled and breathless for fear of missing a detail, a moment, the ride of a lifetime."--John Hart, New York Times bestselling author "T. Jefferson Parker is the poet of American crime fiction. . . There's a damned good reason he has won three Edgar Awards." --C.J. Box, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Heaven "A brave and daring writer." --Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author of Shanghai Girls "Parker's muscular writing has dazzled for years. His characters are as authentic as the gripping situations he creates. . . He captivates and chokes the air out of the room. Masterful! There are few if any crime writers out there this good." --Ridley Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of the Chris Klick series "Parker already has two or three titles on my all-time best-ever list. . . and now comes A Thousand Steps , which might be his crowning achievement. It's a great story and a nuanced look at the nation in 1968, and above all it proves no one inhabits character as completely and intensely--Matt Anthony is a changing boy in a changing time, and you won't ever forget him." --Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series "Parker ranks as one of the top contemporary suspense writers." -- Publishers Weekly "As much sensitive coming-of-age novel as it is edgy thriller...Parker juggles his disparate elements superbly." -- Booklist "A pro, that's what T. Jefferson Parker is. His plots are intricate, keenly crafted, clearly mapped . . ." -- Los Angeles Times "If there's a better mystery writer around . . . well, there isn't." -- San Diego Union Tribune, "This twisty tale of teen's desperate plan to save his sister and right his off-keel family is a compelling coming-of-age thriller that will entrance you with its '60s vibe and backdrop, and captivate you with its engaging storytelling and a believable cast of characters -including one heroic kid you can't help but to root for." -- USA Today "A unique thriller and also a coming-of-age story: the not-so-sentimental education of an impressionable teen.

Mom's a stoner, his deadbeat dad is a no-show, his brother's fighting in Nam . . . and his big sister Jazz has just gone missing. The cops figure she's just another runaway hippie chick, enjoying a summer of love, but Matt doesn't believe it. Not after another missing girl turns up dead on the beach.

If it's not already too late.
