Kate McCall’s husband has been killed by her son, Luke, in a tragic bow-hunting accident. While Kate struggles with her loss and Luke’s surly guilt, her first love, Jack, an ex-con, comes back to Detroit, looking for redemption. Even though his past—in the form of his former “colleagues”— trails close behind…

Now, Jack must convince his partners in crime that he really did lose the heist money—and find a way to win Kate’s trust. But Jack’s return to civil society sets into motion a series of events culminating in dangerous seduction, extortion, and a high-risk confrontation with a gang of killers who don’t believe in second chances…and are dead-set at getting even. No matter what the cost.

Praise for Quiver

“The best parts of the novel concern the crooks, who, if not as gloriously quirky as those in Elmore Leonard’s novels, are sometimes funny and sometimes scary.”—Washington Post

“Leonard has his father's knack for creating memorable characters who are both sinister and amusing. The result is a masterful debut.”—Calgary Sun

“Reading Leonard is just as much fun as reading, well, Leonard.” —Providence Journal-Bulletin

“This is an outstanding debut… Great tension and sharp-as-a-tack writing!”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“An outstanding debut….Leonard, the son of grandmaster mystery writer Elmore Leonard, deftly utilizes frequent flashback scenes in a tense tale that’s easily one of the best crime novels of the year.”—East Lansing Journal

“You’ll be sitting in the air off the edge of your chair more than once during your reading of Quiver.”—Bookreporter.com

“Peter Leonard’s energetic style makes one forget the name Elmore and concentrate on the Leonard....Good writing may be in his genes, but the style’s all his own.”—The South Florida Sun-Sentinel

“Peter Leonard’s first novel, Quiver, amply shows that he’s the great Elmore’s son. This book is a wicked trip…unique and engaging.  I salute Peter Leonard at the beginning of what will obviously be a fine career.”—Jim Harrison, author of Returning to Earth and Legends of the Fall

Quiver is a terrific debut.  Peter Leonard has a good ear for voices, a good eye for detail, and a talent for bringing together elements that can’t do anything but explode.”—Edgar Award Winner Thomas Perry, author of Silence
