How can you not love Jeffery Deaver? Every time I read or listen to one of his narratives, be it short story or long complex novel, I learn something useful about the world and I am kept guessing about the plot and the characters. This tale begins with a heartbroken man asking Colter Shaw to find his missing wife... from that beginning anything can happen but be sure that nothing is quite what it seems.

I think I am going to like this series Colter Shaw shows promise. A short story of about a man searching for his missing wife, Colter tracks her down and she spins him a tale about abuse in her marriage, she does not bargain for Colter shaw.

A nice taster
