The hidden thug

Everyone thinks Emma Dockery is crazy. Emma took a leave of absence from her job as an FBI researcher obsessed with finding a link between hundreds of unsolved cases - including her sister's death. Now all she owns are newspaper clippings covering her bedroom walls, and her recurring nightmares of a devastating fire.

Even her ex-boyfriend, Field Agent Harrison "Box" Buckman, doesn't believe her claim that all the murders across the country are connected. And it stays that way, until Emma finds a clue Box can't ignore. The number of deaths is increasing by the day - all of which are inexplicable. No motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. Could one person really be responsible for all these unbelievable crimes?

An exciting, fast-paced novel with twists and turns that will keep you breathless until the amazing last pages. This is James Patterson's most shocking novel, as well as his most unique novel to date.
