The award-winning CIA thriller by “a uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer” (Alan Furst) R. J. Ellory’s latest paperback is his most timely, menacing serial killer novel yet. As in his globally acclaimed A Quiet Belief in Angels, it is a stunning work of suspense guaranteed to keep the reader awake at night. Set in Washington, embroiled in elections, it follows Detective Robert Miller as he is assigned to an unsettling murder case. He finds a serious complication: the victims do not officially exist. Their personal details do not register on any known systems. And as Miller unearths ever more disturbing facts, he starts to face truths about the corrupt world he lives in—truths so far removed from his own reality that he begins to fear for his life. As CrimeSquad described it, “this is a book with everything that a fan of modern mystery fiction could hope for: a labyrinthine plot, unbearable tension, controvery, and a social conscience.” Praise for the work of R.J. Ellory “A beautifully written novel that is also a great mystery.” —James Patterson “The master of the genre.” —Clive Cussler “A police procedural thus shifts into a conspiracy thriller and historical exposé … Powerful scenes and vivid images.” —Wall Street Journal “A masterful exercise in suspense . . . This one will keep you uplate reading, and then you won’t be able to sleep.” —John Lutz, New York Times bestselling author of Mister X “A rich, powerful, evocative novel of great psychological depth.” —Jonathan Kellerman It is then that Catherine hears something. She thinks to turn, but doesn’t dare. A sudden rush of something in the base of her gut. Wants to turn now. Wants so desperately to turn around and look him square in the face, but knows that if she does this she will break down, she will scream and cry and plead for this to happen some other way, and it’s too late now, too late to go back . . . too late after everything that’s happened, everything that they’ve done, everything they’ve learned and what it all meant . . . suGGesteD oRDeR J u ly • o V e R l o o k 101
