The bestselling novel by Tana French, author of The Witch Elm, is “required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting” (The New York Times). She “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and is “the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” (The Washington Post).
“Atmospheric and unputdownable.” —People**
In bestselling author Tana French’s newest “tour de force” (The New York Times), being on the Murder Squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would be. Her partner, Stephen Moran, is the only person who seems glad she’s there. The rest of her working life is a stream of thankless cases, vicious pranks, and harassment. Antoinette is savagely tough, but she’s getting close to the breaking point.
Their new case looks like yet another by-the-numbers lovers’ quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond, pretty, groomed-to-a-shine, and dead in her catalog-perfect living room, next to a table set for a romantic dinner. There’s nothing unusual about her—except that Antoinette’s seen her somewhere before.
And that her death won’t stay in its neat by-numbers box. Other detectives are trying to push Antoinette and Steve into arresting Aislinn’s boyfriend, fast. There’s a shadowy figure at the end of Antoinetteʼs road. Aislinnʼs friend is hinting that she knew Aislinn was in danger. And everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further from the glossy, passive doll she seemed to be.
Antoinette knows the harassment has turned her paranoid, but she can’t tell just how far gone she is. Is this case another step in the campaign to force her off the squad, or are there darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface? Views: 254
The pain that has always accompanied Ari's transformation into the wolf has finally been diminished, and she's going to need every bit of her newfound freedom if she wants to survive her next case.
Ari doesn't think much about getting a drunken late-night call from Clark Wilcox, a rival private investigator. She assumes he's drunk and randomly dialed her number until the following morning, when Detective Macallan reveals he committed suicide immediately after hanging up. The death is clearly self-inflicted so the police are willing to close the case and move on. Ari, however, knows there has to be more to the story. If nothing else, she wants to know why he chose her to be his final conversation. She begins investigating the man's life leading up to the fateful moment and quickly discovers he was using his agency to gather blackmail material on his clients. She knows that somewhere in his cache of damning material is someone who didn't take kindly to being threatened. She just has to find out who it is without being caught in the same web that eventually led to Wilcox killing himself.
Meanwhile Dale, while overjoyed by Ari's newfound pain-free changes, realizes that Ari seems to need her less. No late night calls to rescue her after a run, no massages to help her aching back and shoulders. Despite reassurances from Ari that everything is fine, Dale can't help but think about the fact Ari is now a full-fledged canidae... and no modern canidae has ever had a lasting relationship with a human.

The public grew tired of being told what to believe and how to act. The relentless spreading of fake news to all who dared listen covered the country from coast to coast, igniting a firestorm, calling all red-blooded US citizens to arms much like the colonial militia against the British Empire. The left redefined what was un-American by blatantly demonizing patriotism while promoting forced globalization, but instead of a bloody physical war, political battlefields littered the countryside. Lies and deceit can only get lunatics so far before the house of cards come crumbling down. In this timeline, we learn how politically correct SJW lunatics nearly destroyed America with intimidation, hate, and bigoted views, hell bent on eradicating anyone with common sense. These temperamental snowflakes with chucklehead tendencies served the elite ruling class of the Plutocracy. The decision-making underbelly of the government, shielded from public view and criticisms. After years of politician manipulation and corporate greed, the sleeping giant finally awoke. The true American voice once muted by government oppression made its thunderous revival. Not by bloodshed, but by constitutional right, the people took control away from corrupt government agencies run by unruly children put in place by indoctrinated self-righteous nitwits. The surreal state of America gave rise to the PartyUnited that ushered in a new golden era setting higher standards and values for generations to come.
