David Loogan's dark past is revealed in this prequel to "Bad Things
Happen"--the critically acclaimed mystery that Stephen King called
a "great f***ing book."
On a rainy night in April, a chance encounter draws David into a
romance with Jana Fletcher, a beautiful young law student. Jana is
an enigma: living in a run-down apartment with only the barest of
possessions, sporting a bruise on her cheek that she refuses to
explain. David would like to know her secrets, but he lets them
lie--until it's too late.
When Jana is brutally murdered, the police consider David a prime
suspect. But as he sets out to uncover the truth, he soon learns
that Jana's death may be related to an earlier murder, one that she
was obsessed with during the last weeks of her life.
And as he retraces her steps, he begins to realize that he's
treading a very dangerous path--and that her killer is watching
every move he makes.
'Fun and entertaining ... The action never stops' DAILY MAIL. Sean
is at a shopping mall when Henry Alan Keen, scorned by a woman he's
been dating, pulls out a gun and begins shooting everyone in sight.
A former soldier, Sean rushes toward Keen and ends the slaughter
with two well-placed shots - becoming a hero with his face
plastered across the news. But this new-found notoriety soon
exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely
in his past. One blames Sean for his brother's death. The other
wants to recover a treasure that Sean and his partner Molly stole
from him. Both are deadly and relentless enemies, and Sean and
Molly will need to draw on their strength and devotion to each
other if they hope to elude them. Thus begins a cross-country chase
that leads from Texas to Montana, from Tennessee to New York to
Michigan, as the hunters and their prey grow ever closer. A
wickedly clever and exhilarating thriller, The Good Killer offers a
sophisticated, breathtaking look at the extremes people will reach
for love, greed, and survival.
The man who calls himself David Loogan is leading a quiet,
anonymous life in the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's
hoping to escape a violent past he would rather forget. But his
solitude is broken when he finds himself drawn into a friendship
with Tom Kristoll, the publisher of the mystery magazine "Gray
Streets"-and into an affair with Laura, Tom's sleek blond wife.
What Loogan doesn't realize is that the stories in "Gray Streets"
tend to follow a simple formula: Plans go wrong. Bad things happen.
People die.
Elizabeth Waishkey is a single mother. She's also the most
talented detective in the Ann Arbor Police Department. But when Tom
Kristoll turns up dead, she doesn't know quite what to make of
David Loogan. Is he a killer, or an ally who might help her
discover the truth? Loogan suspects his friend's death is part of a
much larger puzzle, and he's not going to wait for someone else to
put the pieces together.
As Loogan and Elizabeth navigate their way through Kristoll's
world, they find no shortage of people with motives for murder,
from a young graduate student obsessed with Laura Kristoll to a
trio of bestselling writers, all of them with secrets they don't
want uncovered. But as the deaths start mounting up-some of them
echoing stories published in "Gray Streets"-Loogan begins to look
more and more like the most promising suspect. Soon it becomes
clear that only Elizabeth can find the path to solving both the
murders and the mystery of Loogan himself.
From the national bestselling author of "Bad Things Happen"--the
debut that Stephen King called a "great f***ing book"--comes a new
crime novel that will blow readers away...
ANTHONY LARK has a list of names--"Terry Dawtrey," "Sutton Bell,"
"Henry Kormoran." To his eyes, the names glow red on the page. They
move. They "breathe." The men on the list were once involved in a
notorious robbery. And now Lark is hunting them, and he won't stop
until every one of them is dead.
DAVID LOOGAN--editor of the mystery magazine "Gray Streets"--is
living a quiet life in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with Detective
ELIZABETH WAISHKEY and her daughter. But soon David and Elizabeth
are drawn into Lark's violent world. As Elizabeth works to track
Lark down, David befriends Lucy Navarro, a reporter with a crazy
theory about the case that threatens to implicate some very
powerful people. And when Lucy disappears, David decides her theory
may not be so crazy after all
