A rags-to-riches deal for single mother LuAnn Tyler is deadlier than she ever could have imagined in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.

THE DREAM
She is twenty, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever.

THE KILLER
It's an offer she dares to refuse...until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high-stakes, big-money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay...until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich.

THE WINNER
For if LuAnn Tyler comes home, she will be pitted against the deadliest contestant of all: the chameleon-like financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will...

David Baldacci

David Baldacci is one of the most recognizable names in contemporary thriller fiction, known for his intricately woven plots and relentless pacing that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. With a career spanning decades, Baldacci has made a remarkable mark on the genre, seamlessly blending complex characters with sharp social commentary and high-octane action.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Baldacci's journey to becoming a bestselling author was anything but typical. Before embarking on his writing career, he earned a law degree and worked as a lawyer, an experience that provided him with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of justice and the legal system—two recurring themes that often appear in his work. It was in the world of law that Baldacci found his voice for creating stories that explored both the personal and political complexities of society, bringing them to life through characters that feel as real as the world they inhabit.

Baldacci’s debut novel, Absolute Power, introduced the world to his signature style—a gripping narrative with twists and turns that keep readers hooked. Since then, his bibliography has grown to include over 40 novels, with his works translated into dozens of languages, touching the hearts and minds of millions worldwide. His books, often dealing with themes of political intrigue, personal redemption, and the pursuit of justice, have earned him a spot among the giants of the thriller genre.

What sets Baldacci apart is his uncanny ability to create characters who feel like they could step off the page and into real life. From the gritty, morally complex government agents in the Amos Decker series to the brilliant yet troubled detective duo in The Memory Man books, Baldacci’s characters are multidimensional, flawed, and endlessly fascinating. Each book showcases his commitment to crafting deeply human stories within the framework of fast-paced, page-turning narratives.

In addition to his literary achievements, Baldacci is a philanthropist. He founded the Wish You Well Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting literacy and supporting programs that fight poverty in the U.S. His passion for improving lives, both in his writing and through his charitable work, underscores his deep connection to the themes of hope, justice, and second chances that define much of his fiction.

David Baldacci’s work continues to captivate, thrill, and inspire readers around the world, with each new novel expanding the boundaries of what a great thriller can be. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his world of gripping suspense, there’s no better time to dive into the mind of one of the genre’s most influential voices.
