Thriller Police Procedural | Thriller Psychological

On a rainy night, an SUV is found at the base of an embankment in rural New Hampshire. Sgt. Wyatt Foster deals with the injured driver, Nicole Frank, who is frantically calling for a young girl named Vero. However, a thorough search of the area turns up no other occupant of the vehicle. Nicole\'s husband, Thomas Frank, arrives on scene informing Wyatt that his wife has taken several bad falls recently and suffers from the aftermath of a concussion. Does this mean Vero is not real and only a figment of Nicole's imagination, or is something more ominous going on with Nicole and Thomas? PI Tessa Leoni, with whom Wyatt has a personal relationship, aids the investigation with meticulous research and intelligent insight. What starts with a single- auto accident soon develops into a deeper exploration of something much more sinister as it uncovers a history of shocking crimes from 30 years ago. A complicated process that cannot be undone until all the disturbing facts are uncovered -- and Nicole faces the suppressed memories of her past. New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner keeps readers absorbed and guessing until the end in her latest psychological thriller CRASH & BURN, where nothing is quite what it seems. The suspense is expertly developed as the plot sprints to a spectacular finish, while realistic characters add to the dynamic narrative. Lisa Gardner is a superb wordsmith, as she proves with CRASH & BURN.

SUMMARY

The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s latest stand- alone thriller, with a cameo by her fan-favorite character, Boston Detective D.D. Warren My name is Nicky Frank. Except, most likely, it isn’t. Nicole Frank shouldn’t have been able to survive the car accident, much less crawl up the steep ravine. Not in the dark, not in the rain, not with her injuries. But one thought allows her to defy the odds and flag down help: Vero. I’m looking for a little girl. I have to save her. Except, most likely, she doesn’t exist. Sergeant Wyatt Foster is frustrated when even the search dogs can’t find any trace of the mysterious missing child. Until Nicky’s husband, Thomas, arrives with a host of shattering revelations: Nicole Frank suffers from a rare brain injury and the police shouldn’t trust anything she says. My husband claims he’ll do anything to save me. Except, most likely, he can’t. Who is Nicky Frank, and what happened the night her car sailed off the road? Was it a random accident or something more sinister given the woman’s lack of family and no close friends? The deeper Wyatt digs, the more concerned he becomes. Because it turns out, in the past few months, Nicky has suffered from more than one close accident….In fact, it would appear someone very much wants her dead. This is my life. Except, most likely, it’s not. Now watch me crash and burn.
