Textul de pe ultima copertă
A propulsive new thriller from Andrew Gross, the New York Times bestselling author of 15 Seconds and No Way Back While driving along a suburban back road, Hilary Cantor, who's just lost her job and whose deadbeat husband has left her alone to care for her son with Asperger's, witnesses a freakish car accident. Rushing to help, she finds the driver dead—and a satchel on the floor stuffed with a half million dollars.
That money could prevent her family's ruin and keep her son in school. In an instant, this honest woman makes a decision that puts her in the center of a maelstrom of unforeseeable consequences and life-threatening recriminations. It isn't long before someone comes looking for the money, pulling Hilary into a terrifying scheme involving a twenty-year-old murder and a powerful figure determined to maintain the secret that can destroy him.
Filled with tension and unexpected twists, Everything to Lose is an explosive and heartbreaking tale of suspense that will appeal to readers of Harlan Coben, Lee Child, and David Baldacci.
