Synopsis

ALONE introduces Lisa Gardner's series character Detective D. D. Warren. YOU HAVE A SPLIT SECOND TO MAKE YOUR DECISION. IF YOU DON'T SHOOT, WILL HE? The Sunday Telegraph calls it 'fast-moving' and Karin Slaughter says the Sunday Times bestseller is 'an amazing writer'. Now find out why...

As he watches a potentially fatal hostage situation unfold through the scope of his sniper rifle, Massachusetts State Trooper Bobby Dodge knows that he may be all that stands between life and death. But from the moment Bobby pulls the trigger, killing an armed man holding his own wife and child hostage, it may be Bobby's own life that is lost.

Detective D. D. Warren's investigation into the shooting leads her to the impossibly beautiful young widow, Catherine Rose Gagnon, and the darkness in her past. Even as the truth behind the façade of this wealthy Boston family's life is revealed, the body count rises. And with a sadistic, vengeful killer newly released from prison, everyone must be on their guard. For he strikes the solitary wanderer - and no one can stay protected forever...

About this title

Review:

'A dark and disturbing thriller.' (IMAGE magazine)

'This is a terrific psychological thriller - and another novel with a clever final twist to send the reader away happy.' (Peter Guttridge THE OBSERVER)

'Gardner has written a fine novel full of twists and it could go all the way for her.' (Mark Timlin INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)

'There is an impressive air of gathering menace in this thriller, and you begin to understand why the strap on the cover reads 'Don't turn out the lights!' This is not a book you'd want to read in alone in a dimly lit place.' (Matthew Lewin THE GUARDIAN)

'This fast-moving thriller is a notch above Gardner's previous books and makes her a match for many of her best-selling compatriots.' (Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
