Thriller | Mystery
Gayle Lynds' national bestseller Masquerade was the most
celebrated international suspense debut in years. People
magazine named it "Page Turner of the Week," and the Los
Angeles Times hailed it as a "gloriously paranoid,
immensely satisfying international thriller." Now Lynds
spins another bullet-fast tale in a sensational new novel
packed with unforgettable characters, crackling dialog,
and daring surprises. While giving a gala performance at London's Royal Albert
Hall, blind concert pianist Julia Austrian's sight
returns as mysteriously as it disappeared ten years
earlier when she was struck by a little-known
psychological disorder. But her euphoria shatters after
she witnesses her mother's murder -- a trauma that hurls
her back into her dark and lonely world. Blind, yet the only person who can identify her mother's
attacker, Julia vows to find the killer. She abandons her
celebrated, wealthy life, and unwittingly plunges into a
violent whirlwind of deceit, lust, and greed, a
conspiracy of hidden forces with the power to manipulate
the law, the banks, the media -- and Julia herself. Meanwhile, in a dark alley in Prague, a sex king's
opportunistic employee sells incriminating documents. In glitzy Monaco, a beautiful blonde seduces a police
inspector into altering official records. In an affluent New York City suburb, a charming old man
riddled with guilt prepares to bring down one of the most
influential families in America -- his own. On the campaign trail, a coolly determined presidential
candidate prepares to beat the pundits and the polls with
a devious plan guaranteed to win him the election. In Langley, Virginia, maverick CIA analyst Sam Keeline
embarks on a forbidden journey to recover the fabled
Amber Room -- a dazzling masterpiece that mysteriously
vanished at the end of World War II. But his simple quest
provokes horrific consequences, and suddenly he finds
himself in the path of the relentless forces bent on
destroying Julia. Desperate but determined, Julia turns to hypnosis and
regains her sight. Knowing that she can go blind in an
instant, she joins with Sam Keeline to track down the
sinister powers threatening the very foundation of
America's political system. On the run, hunted and hated,
the young couple races against time to piece together the
seemingly random acts that form a vast and terrifying
puzzle. An electrifying, intricately plotted story that bristles
with action and intrigue, Mosaic never stops accelerating
from its first page to its last -- earning Lynds a place
alongside the top thriller writers of our time.
