Description
Shaw Connolly Lives to Tell by Gillian French follows Shaw Connolly, a fingerprints analyst who is no stranger to trauma. As one of the first on-site at crimes, including murder scenes and a mysterious string of arsons, Shaw serves the rural Maine community diligently. However, the tragedy of her little sister's disappearance sixteen years ago weighs heavily on her; Thea is never far from her thoughts or dreams. Shaw knows that her obsession with finding the truth about Thea is straining her marriage and impacting her two boys, yet she can't let it go.
Disturbing calls from a man named Anders Jansen, who all but claims to have committed the crime, draw her deeper into the past. Anders taunts Shaw with hints and innuendo about what supposedly happened all those years ago. His calls escalate as he reveals intimate knowledge about Shaw's personal life, like her stalled career and ruined marriage. As his stalking turns into threats against her family, Shaw realises just how dangerous he might be but remains desperate for answers. Just when she's on the brink of finding proof, the only question left is what she must lose to learn the truth.
This taut, atmospheric thriller from Edgar Award-finalist young adult author Gillian French introduces a compelling new voice in adult suspense fiction.
