Ghostheart
Published by ABRAMS, Inc.
From a “master of the genre,” a psychological thriller about a woman lured by curiosity about her dead father into her family’s dark past. (New York Times bestselling authorClive Cussler)
Annie O’Neill has it all: a cozy Manhattan apartment, a beautiful bookshop, and a network of supportive friends?but her father died in her childhood, leaving a hole she has yet to fill. When a mysterious man named Forrester enters the shop and claims to be her father’s oldest friend, she jumps at the chance to discover more. But Forrester seems much more interested in telling her a story about a ruthless ganglord and a decades-old betrayal. A betrayal that, she will realize far too slowly, has something very much to do with her.
Praised by Alan Furst as a “uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer,” R.J. Ellory, the bestselling author of A Quiet Belief in Angels and City of Lies, is back with a novel packed with mystery, betrayal, and shocking family history.
“It’s a bravura performance for readers of literary suspense from a writer whose prose often sings.” —Booklist
“This compelling novel, with its shock denouement, is both beautifully written and skillfully crafted and confirms Ellory as one of crime fiction’s new stars.” —The Sunday Telegraph
