JEFFERYDEAVER’S next blockbuster thriller featuring Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs—in mass market!

“Fiendishly inventive...all the usual thrills, which are worth every breathless minute.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Convincing characters and an unexpected closing twist will remind readers why Deaver is one of today’s top thriller writers.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Deaver doesn’t disappoint. With an unmatched ability to create the perfect characters...Deaver takes fans to the edge in this one and dangles them over the cliff...One of the best books of 2016.” —Suspense Magazine

Dangerously Good. Distinctively Deaver.Amelia Sachs is hot on the trail of a killer, chasing him through a Brooklyn department store, when an escalator malfunctions. The stairs give way, and one man is horribly mangled by the gears. Sachs is forced to let her quarry escape as she tries to help save the victim. She and famed forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme soon learn that the incident may not have been an accident after all—but the first in a series of intentional attacks. They find themselves up against one of their most formidable opponents ever: a brilliant killer who turns common products into murder weapons. As the body count threatens to grow, Sachs and Rhyme must race against the clock to unmask his identity, and discover his mission, before more people die.

A few humans carry on, living in outposts such as the Sanctuary—the remains of St. Louis—a shielded community that owes its survival to its militant defense and fear-mongering leaders. Then a rider comes from the wasteland beyond its walls. She reports on the outside world: west of the Cascades, rain falls, crops grow, civilization thrives. But there is danger too: the rising power of an army that pillages and enslaves every community they happen upon. Against the wishes of the Sanctuary, a small group sets out in secrecy. Led by Lewis Meriwether and Mina Clark, they hope to expand their infant nation, and to reunite the States. But the Sanctuary will not allow them to escape without a fight.

Hugh Fitzroy, the Duke of Kyle, has returned to London to bring down the Lords of Chaos. When he’s set upon one night in St. Giles, he’s rescued by the mysterious Ghost of St. Giles, who feels suspiciously in his arms like a woman.

Alfreda “Alf” McNally has lived most of her life disguised as a boy, stealing, begging, and dealing in information.

When the duke installs her in his household to uncover a Lords of Chaos informant, Alf knows that her secret identities are at risk. But the more time she spends with the duke, the more she wants him, and the more she wants him to want her, the real her.

Though some wranglers complain about a solitary lifestyle, it’s the very thing that feeds Luke Malloy’s wild and defiant soul. Out one morning admiring the wild mustangs, a gunshot suddenly rings out, throwing him from his horse. When he opens his eyes, he’s in a room he doesn’t recognize with the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen.

When tough rancher Ingrid Marrow finds Luke trapped in a ravine, she brings him back home to recover. But the last thing she wants is to discuss the mysterious “accidents” that have plagued her family. When Luke demands to stay and protect her, she refuses. She doesn’t need a man to save her...not even one as rugged and irresistible as Luke Malloy.

But the evasive attacker isn’t finished yet—and now has his sights set on Ingrid....

Die for the company, live for the pay. And the ultimate pay-off is DH-17, an Earth-like planet hundreds of light years from human habitation. Ruthless corporations vie over the prize remotely, and war is in full swing. But soldiers recruited to fight in the extremities of deep space come with their own problems: from A.I. minds in full rebellion, to Carlos ‘the Terrorist’ and his team of dead mercenaries, reincarnated from a bloodier period in Earth’s history for one purpose only—to kill. But as old rivalries emerge and new ones form, Carlos must decide whether he’s willing to fight for the company—or die for himself.

Over a year has passed since “Big Guy” Clancy and his ragged band of survivors managed to escape from the hellish reality of the City. Pursued by the ruthless leader of Infinity, the corporation behind the systematic extermination of thousands of “lower class” citizens, they’ve been on the run ever since, constantly looking over their shoulders. Despite this, they have forged a new life working the land on an abandoned farm. Hidden, they are as close to happy as they can be. But peace for Clancy and his fellow escapees is short-lived. Strange things are happening in the valley. Too many unlucky coincidences convince them that another power is rising against them, and there are many questions to be answered. What is the mysterious shadow maker? And who—or what—has begun to howl in the night?
