Mrs. John Doe
Author:
Tom Savage
Genre:
Thriller
In the adrenaline-laced new novel of suspense
from Tom Savage—hailed by Michael Connelly as “a master of the
high-speed thriller”—an American actress in Europe races to find
the truth behind her husband’s mysterious accident. What she
uncovers makes her the target of a shocking conspiracy.
Nora Baron’s life is perfect. She lives on Long Island Sound, teaches acting at a local university, and has a loving family. Then one phone call changes everything. She’s informed that her husband, Jeff, has died in a car crash while on a business trip in England. Nora flies to London to identify the body, which the police have listed as a “John Doe.” When she leaves the morgue, a man tries to steal her purse containing Jeff’s personal effects. Clearly, all is not as it seems.
At her hotel, Nora receives a cryptic message that leaves her with more questions than answers. She follows the message’s instructions to France, where a fatal encounter transforms her into a fugitive. Wanted for murder, on the run in a shadowy landscape of lies, secrets, and sudden violence, Mrs. “John Doe” must play the role of a lifetime to stay one step ahead of a ruthless enemy with deadly plans for her—and for the world.

Geez... I don't think the author could have done any better than he did with this book! You talk about suspenseful page turning gripping the seat type of read... this is it! Not what you expect when you think you know... But you'll have to grab a copy and see for yourself!
