Fiendish suspense. Shocking twists.
Twelve diabolical tales.
New York Times bestselling author and highly acclaimed storyteller
Jeffery Deaver-the undisputed "grand master of the plot twist"
(Booklist)-returns with a dazzling new collection of short stories. In
these twelve electrifying tales (including six written just for this
anthology) Deaver proves once again his genius for the unexpected-in his
world, appearances are always deceiving.
A devoted housekeeper embarks on a quest to find the truth behind her
employer's murder. A washed-up Hollywood actor gets one last,
high-stakes chance to revive his career. A man makes an impulsive visit
to his hometown, and learns more about his past than he bargained for.
Two Olympic track hopefuls receive terrorist threats. And Deaver's
beloved series characters Lincoln Rhyme, Kathryn Dance, and John Pellam
return in stories now in print for the first time.
