STEPHEN KING ON CHRISTOPHER SMITH: "Put me down as an enthusiastic Christopher Smith fan. Smith is a cultural genius." From in the #1 International Best-Selling author of "Fifth Avenue" comes Smith's best thriller yet!
Description: Sixteen years ago, Camille Miller left behind her life as an assassin to raise her daughter, Emma. But now, when her billionaire father is found brutally murdered, she must tap into old instincts to learn who killed her father and why.
The suspects? Her six siblings, each so desperate for their father's money that they'd kill for it. What Camille doesn't see coming is Emma's plan to solve the mystery first. Or P.I. Marty Spellman's assignment, which is to find Camille or risk the deaths of those dearest to him.
Over the course of one day, all three players, plus Spellman's teenaged daughter Beth, find themselves in a race to the finish. Nobody's goals are what they appear to be. Twists abound. And not one single person, for one single moment, is safe.
PRAISE FOR CHRISTOPHER SMITH:
Kirkus: "This crime thriller is a fast-paced and engaging read. The narrative kept me on the edge of my seat and I really couldn't predict what was going to happen next. The pace never flagged. The central characters of Camille, Sam, Emma, Marty and Jennifer are nuanced and very true-to-life. Although theirs is an unusual life lived at a hectic pace, I found myself developing real empathy for their plight and always felt that they were--despite their unusual life choices or circumstances--genuine, well-meaning and real people. The Miller clan and their acquaintances were exceptionally well drawn, alternating between petty pragmatism, shameless snobbery, greed, and a perverse noblesse oblige. I particularly enjoyed the humorous and biting portrayals of Camille's siblings. Multiple twists, fierce action, top-notch dialogue and quirky characterizations throughout." -Kirkus
