Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Lincoln Rhyme novel The Burial Hour -- comes three powerful short stories.

In "Fast," Kathryn Dance races against the clock to track down the members of a domestic terrorist cell--with the lives of 200 people hanging in the balance.

In "Game," a housekeeper looks for her murdered employer's missing body-and uncovers a shocking truth that hits too close to home.

In "Paradice," a car brake failure leaves John Pellam stranded in a remote Colorado mountain town, where he suddenly finds himself accused of murder.

With this trio of brilliantly written, utterly gripping stories, Deaver proves once again that he's the "grand master of the plot twist" (Booklist).

2.5 stars. Not sure if these stories are also included in another collection, or if I've read this before and just forgot!

Three clever short stories from the pen of Jeffery Deaver, written in his inimitable style. A return for Kathryn Dance sees her rely on her unique skills to foil a terrorism plot while John Pellam runs into trouble while out on a scouting job.......more
