Produktinformationen zu „Empire of Lies (ePub)“
A pious family man is pulled back into his sordid past-and into a race to stop a terrorist plot-in this thriller by an Edgar Award-winning author.
Sustained by a deep religious faith, Jason Harrow has built a stable family and become a pillar of principle and patriotism. Then the phone rings, and his past is on the other end of the line. A woman with whom he once shared a life of violence and desire claims her daughter is missing-and Jason is the one man who can find her.
Returning to New York City from the Midwest, Jason finds himself entangled in a murderous conspiracy that bizarrely links his private passions to the turmoil of a world at war. Hunted by terrorists and the police, Jason has only hours to unravel an ex-lover's lies and face the unbearable truth: In order to prevent a savage attack on his country, he's going to have to risk his decency, his sanity-and his life.
"The most original novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich." -Stephen King
"Klavan's writing is masterful, and his characters superbly drawn." -Forbes
"A wickedly satiric thriller with political overtones . . . [that] builds to an explosive climax." -Publishers Weekly
