The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name. Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against. Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side. |

Bonjour. Je m’appelle Florence Roberge et j’ai huit ans. J’ai commencé un journal intime. Je trouve que c’est une bonne idée parce que je peux parler de mes amies Emma, Charlie et Ling. Il y a Félix aussi qui vient jouer avec nous même si c’est un gars. Et je peux aussi parler de mes parents. Il y a papa qui travaille dans son dépanneur. Il me montre comment marche la caisse et il me fait rire. Il y a maman qui me donne souvent plein de becs et avec qui je regarde plein de films d’horreur même si papa n’aime pas ça. Des fois, papa et maman se chicanent fort parce qu’ils parlent de moi. Papa dit que je suis bizarre et qu’on aurait dû écouter le docteur que j’ai vu l’année passée. Maman n’est pas d’accord, elle dit que je ne suis pas bizarre et elle traite papa de panaro, ou un mot comme ça. C’est là qu’ils se chicanent. Moi, je ne comprends rien de ce qu’ils di-sent. Mononcle Hubert m’a dit que personne n’a le droit de lire le journal intime des autres. Ça, c’est le fun, parce que je vais pouvoir tout écrire, même les affaires que je me ferais chicaner si on savait que je les avais faites. Comme ce qui est arrivé quand je suis allée voir le rat mort dans la poubelle… |

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST THRILLERS OF 2020 “I loved this book. It gave me the same waves of happiness I get from curling up with a classic Christie...The alternating points of view keep you guessing, and guessing wrong.” — Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient "Evok[es] the great Agatha Christie classics…Pay close attention to seemingly throwaway details about the characters’ pasts. They are all clues.” -- New York Times Book Review A wedding celebration turns dark and deadly in this deliciously wicked and atmospheric thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hunting Party. The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner  – The bridesmaid – The body On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why? |
