Sure to enthral fans of Freeman's thrilling Thief River Falls, The Nightbird and The Voice Inside. 'This guy can tell a story' Michael Connelly 'A strong narrative, rife with sex and violence' Publishers Weekly Elonda's seen most things working the streets. But it's a first when her client is shot dead in the act. Detective Jonathan Stride quickly establishes that the victim is M.J. Lane, son of a reclusive millionaire film producer. Any number of people might have wanted to kill M.J. Another death is troubling the Vegas force - that of a little boy, killed in a hit-and-run incident involving a stolen car. Then the body of a woman is found in a remote farmhouse. Could the murders be linked? It seems the killer wants to send a message about the brutal slaying decades earlier of a nightclub dancer. That case was wrapped up quickly. Too quickly? Someone certainly thinks so - and he's set on murderous revenge for the sins of the past. What readers are saying about Stripped: 'I couldn't put this down. Breath-taking, brilliant, talented' 'This story has everything: greed, power, corruption, murder, love, revenge, desire, family feuds dating back forty years. There are a lot of very good thrillers out there, but Stripped is in a class above' 'Full of twists and turns - it's an exciting read, gripping from the very first page'
