“One of our most original and entertaining thriller writers” (The Denver Post), Greg Iles holds readers hostage in this electrifying bestseller of Southern small-town suspense.
In the span of twenty-four hours, everything Laurel Shields believes about her life and her marriage to a prominent doctor will be shattered—if she survives a terrifying ordeal. The day begins with the jarring discovery that, soon after ending an affair, Laurel is pregnant. But when she returns home to find her husband ashen, unkempt, and on the brink of violence, a nightmare quickly unfolds. In the heart of an idyllic Mississippi town, behind the walls of her perfect house, Laurel is locked in a volatile standoff with a husband she barely recognizes. Confronted by evidence of her betrayal, she must tread a deadly path between truth and deception while a ring of armed police prepares a dangerous rescue. But Laurel’s only hope lies with her former lover, a man whom fate has granted the power to save both Laurel and her children—if she can protect his identity long enough. . . .

Review:
Greg Iles has shown that he's among the most talented and ambitious of contemporary thriller writers (Washington Post on TRUE EVIL)
True evil, indeed, and scary enough to fit in with our times (New York Daily News on TRUE EVIL)
Smooth prose, psychological depth and crafty plotting...and a fiendishly clever serial killer...sure to be another bestseller (Publishers Weekly, starred review, on TRUE EVIL)
Sit back and enjoy the mayhem. Brilliant! (Independent on Sunday on TURNING ANGEL)
Iles's way of telling the story lifts him clear of the pack ... into a different league. (Observer on BLOOD MEMORY)
What does a book's plot need to entice you? Sex, drugs, murder? How about sleazy politicians, bigotry, gunfights...and more sex?...If you haven't yet discovered Iles, TURNING ANGEL will have you wondering where he's been all your life (USA Today on TURNING ANGEL)
Alarming, believable, and utterly consuming ... resonates long after the final page is turned. (Dan Brown on DARK MATTER)
It's taut and doesn't waste a word, building the tension right from the opening page. A great and gritty novel! (The West Australian)
