NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Terrifying . . . a spellbinding biomedical thriller.”—San Francisco Examiner “A classic that will grip you until the end.”—Houston Chronicle A phone call in the dead of night brings Joe Lassiter shattering news: His sister and young nephew have died in a fire in their home near Washington, D.C. Yet Lassiter soon learns a chilling fact: His loved ones were brutally murdered before the blaze was set. The mysterious suspect’s identity only raises more questions. Then Lassiter uncovers another crime—another innocent mother and child murdered. The more he investigates, the larger the web of conspiracy grows, as Lassiter’s search for answers leads him on a dangerous international chase toward a truth that will shock him— and the world—to the very core. . . .

The last person Landon thought he would fall for was Jamie Sullivan, daughter of the town's Baptist minister. A quiet girl, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. She took care of her widowed father, rescued hurt animals and volunteered at the local orphanage. Landon would never have dreamed of asking her out, but a twist of fate threw them together when he found himself without a partner for the school dance. In the months that followed, Landon discovered truths that most people take a lifetime to learn - about the joy of giving, the pain of loss and, most of all, the transforming nature of love. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood . . .

Claire, a young doctor, begins her day with an unsettling incident: her handbag is stolen. More distressing than the loss is the whirlwind of thoughts that ensue—who did it, and why her? A sense of latent threat begins to disrupt her orderly life. On the same day, an unknown patient arrives, and Claire thinks she understands the situation. However, Thomas is merely the honest finder of her bag. Claire and Thomas become lovers, even though he warns her that he is married. As their relationship develops, Claire becomes increasingly consumed by fantasies about the other woman. The story takes a surprising turn as the complexities of love and desire unfold, challenging Claire's perceptions and leading her to confront deeper truths about herself and her choices.
