Lisa Gardner's next thriller following her runaway New
York Times bestseller Find Her takes her wildly
popular brand of suspense to new heights.
Is he a hero?
Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash’s older brother beat their
drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save
both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has
finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI
profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner,
Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are
all experts on monsters.
Is he a killer?
Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas
station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting
his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie
race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting
evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah’s older
brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree
has only just begun.
All she knows for sure: He’s back.
As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy
and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after
eight years has this young man started killing again? And
what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah’s
big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of
her own: Is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much
will it cost her new family before they learn the final,
shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the
biggest danger is the one standing right behind you.
