Description

Consider setting aside a few hours of distraction-free reading time for this gripping thriller from James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author. Praised as “Excellent…perfectly executed…genuinely suspenseful” (Booklist) and “Entertaining…one gonzo plot twist follows the next…loads of fun” (Publishers Weekly), the novel whisks readers into the world of a true-crime author tangled in her own shocking murder mystery.

When NYPD Detective Declan Shaw receives an urgent call summoning him to an upscale apartment in the Beresford building on Central Park West, he has no idea what awaits him. Arriving on-site, Shaw is confronted by a startling scene: a woman covered in blood standing near a lifeless body sprawled across the living room floor. The apartment’s extensive shelves are lined with books by a single author, famed true-crime writer Denise Morrow.

“This is you?” Shaw asks, facing the distraught, blood-smeared woman. “You’re a writer?”

Only one person knows how this twisted story truly ends—but is it the victim or the killer?
