Format:Paperback
As a child in Boston, Paul Osborne witnessed his father's murder. Years later in a bar in Paris, he glimpses his father's killer. From that moment on he, and the reader, are immersed in a relentless chase across Europe from which there is no escape (and, for the reader, no sleep !) until the shattering conclusion is reached. As numerous characters come and go along the way, the reader's affinity with Paul Osborne becomes ever greater as you will him to survive. You don't just read this book, you live it - and you'll never forget it !!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the first Folsom book I have read. It starts off at a fast pace and then hardly ever lets up. The characters are well developed and the story line is exceptionally interesting with quite a few twists and turns.
You have to ignore the process which takes an LA detective to Scotland Yard, as that is a touch unrealistic, but once that bit is behind you its a great book and an enjoyable adventure.

Picked up this book from a friend whilst in germany and couldn't believe my luck to have a book packed full of plot twists and 3 stories meeting up to a end of all endings. I bought my own copy which is now falling apart due to all my friends reading it too. Great book highly recommended.

Unbelievable!
Had this writer not taken himself, and his plot so seriously, and had he been given a story editor with the guts to trim 692 pages down to 400 - then this would have been a fun... Read more

This is truly dreadful
I picked this up in a second hand bookshop the other day, and have never read such utter drivel. I quite like thrillers, generally, even ones with stupid plots and bad characters... Read more

Disappointing and overwrought
I bought it as a gift for my thriller fanatic girlfriend, who enjoyed it quite well. So I picked it up. And now I'm glad I've put it down. Read more

Memorable for years
I have read this book many years ago when it came out; I have read lots of thrillers since and - if I did forget many of the latter - this one book by Allan Folsom I still remember... Read more

what a load of rubbish, would give it zero if I could
Read some of the other reviews and can't believe some people gave it 5 stars. You must have been reading a different book than the one I read. Read more

An amazing read.
Allan Fallsom has created an excellent thriller in "The Day After Tomorrow". I would have to say that this book is the best thriller I have ever read. It's approx. Read more

Still haunted after all those years
I read this book back in 1996, after picking it up at an airport bookstore. Back then, I still hadn't learned that one of readers' great powers is to shelf a book midway through... Read more

A Spectacular Read..
This has to be the best book I have ever read. One of the few examples where the reviews on the back cover were absolutely correct! I couldnt put this book down. Read more

Tediously long and beyond belief
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a book I kept reading... and reading ... and reading, hoping for an ending clever enough to justify the effort I was making. Read more

Saggy in the middle, but aren't a lot of good things...
...The book begins at a cracking pace and holds it for a while, bringing in new stories and seemingly unrelated incidents. Read more
