DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Someone is playing mind games with a cyber genius in this “fiendishly inventive psychological thriller” by the author of Stolen (Lee Child). Charlie Giles is at the top of his game. An electronics superstar, he’s sold his startup to a giant Boston firm, where he’s now senior director. He’s treated like a VIP everywhere he goes . . . until everything in Charlie’s neatly ordered world starts to go terrifyingly wrong. Charlie’s mother is hospitalized, his prestigious job is in jeopardy, his inventions are wrenched away from him, and one by one, his former colleagues are being murdered. Every shred of evidence points to Charlie as a cold-blooded killer. And soon he is unable to tell whether he’s succumbed to the pressures of work and become the architect of his own destruction, or whether he’s the victim of a relentless, diabolical attack. Now he must save his own life—all the while realizing that nothing can be trusted, least of all his own fractured mind. “Hits all the right notes. Terrific stuff.” —John T. Lescroart “A high-speed thrill ride, filled with shocks and mind-bending twists.” —Tess Gerritsen “Not just a great thriller debut, but a great thriller, period.” —Lee Child

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Dallas ex-cop Charlie Gants thinks there is nothing in this world for him to look forward to—except, maybe, more nightmares. He is about to leave the mental hospital where he has spent the past three months recovering—he hopes—from an explosion of murder that involved the deaths of two of his fellow policemen in a devastatingly dirty way. But shortly before his release, he is talked into accepting a fortuitous job offer—traveling to the cattle ranch of a family named McKendrick to try and find why—if there is a why—the family has been cursed with a series of serious and sometimes fatal accidents. The atmosphere is a strange one. It is possible that there is actually an Indian curse on the land—the Shaman Tree? It stands on the shore of the lake where a McKendrick daughter recently drowned. Is the old Indian Gants encounters there alive, or is he a figure in a dream, or possibly a figment in a flashback from the drugs forced on Gants at a time of the double killing that scrambled his psyche? One death follows another as Gants tries to find and foil a killer, deals with the otherworldly aura that hangs over the McKendrick land and its ominous great tree, and grimly fights to avoid being plunged back into the horror he has fought for so long.
