When Tanya Dubois disguises herself and leaves behind her dead husband and a note proclaiming her innocence, it's clear this isn't the first time she's gone on the run. When she meets a mysterious bartender, they enter into a precarious partnership that will either dig Tanya in even deeper or finally set her free. As she makes her way across the country in a desperate attempt to survive, she becomes "Amelia," "Debra," "Emma," "Sonia," and "Paige," and the ease with which "Tanya" changes identities is both impressive and disquieting. Is she running from her past out of guilt, or because of something terrible done to her? When the answers finally come, they are juicy, complex, and unexpected. The satisfying conclusion will leave readers rethinking everything and immediately turning back to the first page to start again.
VERDICT Psychological suspense lovers will tear through this thriller, a new direction for best seller Lutz (How To Start a Fire). Fans of her beloved "Spellman Files" series will have high expectations, and if they are open to a new genre and a darker energy and intensity, they will find her trademark independent narrator, smart writing, and rapid pace delivered here.
