Narrado por: Elijah Alexander, Kate Reading, Dennis Boutsikaris, Jim Frangione, Erik Singer, Keith Szarabajka

Fiendish suspense. Shocking twists.
Twelve diabolical tales.

New York Times bestselling author and highly acclaimed storyteller Jeffery Deaver-the undisputed "grand master of the plot twist" (Booklist)-returns with a dazzling new collection of short stories. In these twelve electrifying tales (including six written just for this anthology) Deaver proves once again his genius for the unexpected-in his world, appearances are always deceiving.

A devoted housekeeper embarks on a quest to find the truth behind her employer's murder. A washed-up Hollywood actor gets one last, high-stakes chance to revive his career. A man makes an impulsive visit to his hometown, and learns more about his past than he bargained for. Two Olympic track hopefuls receive terrorist threats. And Deaver's beloved series characters Lincoln Rhyme, Kathryn Dance, and John Pellam return in stories now in print for the first time.

Short Stories

Short stories, all written by this fantastic author. I can't pick a favorite because they were all good. There is no Colter Shaw, but I think I am convinced I should begin the Lincoln Rhyme series of which you will find two short series in this collection.

Really Enjoyed

This book is a collection of stories that I found very entertaining. Like all collections, I liked some better that others, but overall didn't regret reading any of them. There were some very nice 'twists' in the conclusion of each of them. I liked the book.

Typical Deaver

Deaver didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the different stories in this one. Also, the fact there was a variety in the stories. While I love the Lincoln Rymes books, this was a pleasant style change.

great twists and surprises

great collection of short stories! Lots of surprising twists and turns. Characters from his novels and more.
