From the #1 internationally bestselling author of What Happened to Nina? comes a gripping high-stakes novel of suspense about three seemingly unconnected people, caught in a lethal web of deceit and unhealed wounds.
Someone’s watching. Someone’s waiting.
Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault. By the end of the day, she is nowhere to be found.
Soon after she disappears, three identical packages arrive at three very different doors: a respected psychologist’s home, a socialite’s mansion, and a struggling single father’s run-down apartment. Inside, each gift is perfectly tailored to its recipient — and each will tear apart the life of its intended victim.
Detective Sergeant Judith Lee is smart and experienced, but this is no ordinary case. Someone with intimate knowledge of their targets is orchestrating these attacks. Someone who knows exactly how to hurt each victim where they’re most vulnerable.
As she races to uncover the connection between three unrelated people, Judith discovers she’s no longer just investigating the game—she’s being forced to play.
Det. Sgt. Judith Lee is no stranger to solving crime, but the latest case proves to be complicated.
Author Dervla McTiernan pens a top-notch mystery thriller in Three Reasons for Revenge. At the center is a claim of inappropriate contact by an esteemed psychologist.
To add to the suspense are three packages delivered to randomly selected people. The contents guarantee lasting ramifications, but how are they connected?
With solid characters and a fast-moving plot, the mystery combines past flashbacks with the present.
Three Reasons for Revenge offers a high-stakes mystery guaranteed to keep readers guessing until the end.
