Thriller P.I.
New York Times bestseller John Lescroart delivers a dark,
intimate thriller about the price we put on family and the
terrible costs of seeking the truth. Raised by loving adoptive parents, San Francisco private
investigator Wyatt Hunt never had an interest in finding his
birth family-until he gets a chilling text message from an
unknown number: "How did ur mother die?" The answer is murder, and urged on by curiosity and the
mysterious texter, Hunt takes on a case he never knew
existed, one that has lain unsolved for decades. His
family's dark past unfurls in dead ends. Child Protective
Services, who suspected but could never prove that Hunt was
being neglected, is uninformed; his birth father, twice
tried but never convicted of the murder, is in hiding; Evie,
his mother's drug-addicted religious fanatic of a friend, is
untraceable. And who is the texter, and how are they
connected to Hunt? Yet in the present, time is running out. The texter, who
insists the killer is out there, refuses to be identified.
The cat-and-mouse game leads Hunt across the country and
eventually to places far more exotic-and far more dangerous.
As the chase escalates, so does the threat, for the killer
has a secret that can only be trusted to the grave.
