Thriller
A brilliant surgeon stands trial for the murder of her
newlywed husband in the new Jack Parlabane thriller from
internationally bestselling author Christopher Brookmyre, a
heart-pounding novel that dissects the darkest impulses of
life online There is no perfect marriage. There is no perfect murder. From Scottish crime master Christopher Brookmyre, Black
Widow tells the potent story of a woman who thought she was
too late for love, the man who falls for her ambition, and
the secret selves that are poised, at any moment, to end
everything. Diana Jager is clever, strong, and successful, a skilled
surgeon and fierce campaigner via her blog about sexism in
medicine. Yet it takes only hours for her life to crumble
when her personal details are released on the internet as
revenge for her writing. Then she meets Peter. He is kind,
generous, and knows nothing about her past—the second chance
she's been waiting for. Within six months, they are married.
Within six more, Peter is dead in a road accident, a
nightmare end to their fairy-tale romance. But Peter's
sister Lucy doesn't believe in fairy tales, and tasks rogue
reporter Jack Parlabane with discovering the dark truth
behind the woman the media is calling the Black Widow. Still on the mend from his own relationship wounds after a
turbulent divorce, Jack's investigation into matters of the
heart takes him to hidden places no one should ever have to go.
