The Winner

A Rip-Roaring Thriller of Grifters, Killers and Life On the Run from the Number One Bestseller

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Frances Cassidy

Accused of murder. On the run. Who can you trust? Brimming with suspense, The Winner is a rollercoaster thriller from the bestselling author of The 6:20 Man, David Baldacci.

LuAnn Tyler is a single parent striving to escape a life of endless poverty. Then a mysterious Mr Jackson makes her an offer he thinks no one can refuse: a guarantee to be the winner of the $100 million lottery. But LuAnn won't do it.

Less than twenty-four hours later, she is fighting for her life and running from a false murder charge. Jackson's offer – and its condition that she leave the country forever – seems her only hope.

Ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the United States to begin a new life with Matthew Riggs, a man whose origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her trail, as have the FBI – and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who can help her. But is help what Matt intends? Or is he too closing in for the kill?

Critic reviews

Baldacci is still peerless

One of the world's biggest-selling thriller writers, Baldacci needs no introduction . . . Brilliant plotting, heart-grabbing action and characters to die for

Baldacci inhabits the skin of his creations - tripping us up with unexpected empathy and subtle identification

Pity about the narrator

The narrator was as bored with herself as I was. A real pity that a more interesting person wasn't used, such as Orlagh in the John Puller books.

The storyline was badly affected by the monotone and poor modulation of the narrator, unfortunately. I am a Baldacci fan, but I think you will do better reading this one, rather than listening to it.
