Book Description
From a “master of the genre,” a psychological thriller about a woman lured by curiosity about her dead father into her family’s dark past. (New York Times bestselling authorClive Cussler) Annie O’Neill has it all: a cozy Manhattan apartment, a beautiful bookshop, and a network of supportive friends?but her father died in her childhood, leaving a hole she has yet to fill. When a mysterious man named Forrester enters the shop and claims to be her father’s oldest friend, she jumps at the chance to discover more. But Forrester seems much more interested in telling her a story about a ruthless ganglord and a decades-old betrayal. A betrayal that, she will realize far too slowly, has something very much to do with her. Praised by Alan Furst as a “uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer,” R.J. Ellory, the bestselling author of A Quiet Belief in Angels and City of Lies, is back with a novel packed with mystery, betrayal, and shocking family history. “It’s a bravura performance for readers of literary suspense from a writer whose prose often sings.” —Booklist “This compelling novel, with its shock denouement, is both beautifully written and skillfully crafted and confirms Ellory as one of crime fiction’s new stars.” —The Sunday Telegraph

Book Description
Renee Chambers is a burgeoning germaphobe in search of a new job—something less stressful than her last job, teaching high school students. When her supposedly psychic best friend, Ellen, points her toward an odd little bookstore and a strange, otherworldly woman, Adrianne, Renee is thrown for a loop. One awkward interview and an even stranger psychic encounter later, Renee gets the job. Then Ellen’s psychic dabbling has unintended consequences when Renee meets a pushy new friend, Katherine, a jealous ghost who's convinced they are soul mates. A casino trip, a drunken drag show, an old beater of a car, and a pair of dinosaur panties push Renee to the edge, but the real kicker is when Katherine starts getting more insistent and borrowing bodies. All Renee wants is a peaceful, fledgling hermit existence, but that’s unlikely unless she can figure out her true connection to Katherine, Ellen, and Adrianne. To discover the truth, she must come to terms with her past and learn how to embrace the future.
