Summary Specs Notes The perfect wife. The perfect motive. The imperfect murder. In this gripping cat-and-mouse thriller, a brilliant cop must nail down an ingenious true crime author for murder. Wife. Writer. Murderer? When Denise Morrow is discovered standing over the body of her husband, a bloody knife between them, Detective Declan Shaw thinks it’s an open-and-shut case. But Denise is no ordinary murder suspect. She’s a famous true crime author, who knows how killers operate. And how they get away with it. Then, Declan discovers the subject of Denise’s next book – the violent murder of a girl called Maggie Marshall. A case that Declan worked on. A case that has haunted him for years. Denise knows much more about Declan than she’s letting on, and she might just be the slipperiest suspect he has ever encountered . . . ________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON 'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ...
