Thriller

Ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, former cop Rainie Rainie Conner, are in the process of adopting 13-year-old Sharlah Sharlah Nash, a young girl with a troubled past who they've been fostering for three years. At the age of five, Sharlah Sharlah's nine-year-old brother, Telly, killed their parents in self-defense. In the aftermath, they were separated into the foster system. Sharlah eventually came to live with Quincy and Rainie, while Telly, at 17, ended up with Frank and Sandra Duvall, a couple who seem very caring, but aren't quite what they seem.

The Duvall family have some deep, dark secrets in their pasts that manifest themselves and involve Telly. When Frank and Sandra are brutally gunned down in their bed, followed by the killings of two people in a gas station, Telly Telly becomes the prime suspect. Telly runs away, hiding in the Oregon woods, prompting local officials to fear he may be after his sister Sharlah. This gets Quincy and Rainie involved in the manhunt as they try to profile Telly and his true intentions. Is he really a cold-blooded killer, or is is something else going on that has yet to be discovered? Wh What they find is shocking.

In RIGHT BEHIND YOU, Lisa Gardner brings back Pierce Quincy and his partner Rainie Conner, fan favorites from several of her previous novels. I loved catching up with what's going on in their lives now, especially how they are dealing with a troubled teenage girl they've grown to love enough to bring her into their family. Gardner has devised and achieved a thrilling storyline for these unique characters that kept me interested in the outcome from the very start. Interlaced chapters detailing Sharlah and Telly Telly's points of view reveal not only their pasts, but also how they are dealing with the current situation. Clever plot twists push the suspenseful and entertaining RIGHT BEHIND YOU in several directions until the shattering conclusion.

SUMMARY

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.
