The Cover Up is an absolute page-turner that gripped me from the very first chapter. A P Foster delivers a masterclass in suspense, packed with brilliant twists and turns that I never saw coming. I couldn't put it down! Highly recommended for anyone looking for their next unputdownable thriller.

Dropping us straight back into Philip Sanders’ crumbling world, this sequel shifts perfectly from the high-stakes investigative mystery of *Cliffhanger* into an isolated, Hitchcockian nightmare.
What makes this installment work so well is how claustrophobic it feels. Watching Philip get systematically stripped of his reputation, his friends, and his safety while obsessively analyzing his late wife's documentary footage is incredibly tense. Foster handles the 1980s/90s New York setting with a grim, gritty realism, making the shadowy corporate elite feel like an unstoppable force.
The book isn't without a few pacing speedbumps, Philip’s isolation means the middle section relies heavily on internal monologue and tape analysis rather than direct action. However, the emotional stakes involving his grieving son, Chris, keep the story grounded.
And that ending? It is a brutal, heart-stopping cliffhanger that completely flips the board. If you like thrillers that refuse to give their protagonists an easy win, you'll burn through this.
