Crash & Burn
Lisa Gardner
A Tessa Leoni Mystery
Dutton (February 2015)
Publisher synopsis: My name is Nicky Frank. Except, most likely, it isn't. I'm looking for a little girl. I have to save her. Except, most likely, she doesn't exist. My husband claims he'll do anything to save me. Except, most likely, he can't. This is my life. Except, most likely, it's not. Now watch me crash and burn.
Nicole Frank shouldn't have been able to survive the car accident, much less crawl up the steep ravine. Not in the dark, not in the rain, not with her injuries. But one thought allows her to defy the odds and flag down help: Vero.
Sergeant Wyatt Foster is frustrated when even the search dogs can't find any trace of the mysterious missing child. Until Nicky's husband, Thomas, arrives with a host of shattering revelations: Nicole Frank suffers from a rare brain injury and the police shouldn't trust anything she says.
Who is Nicky Frank, and what happened the night her car sailed off the road? Was it a random accident or something more sinister given the woman's lack of family and no close friends? The deeper Wyatt digs, the more concerned he becomes. Because it turns out, in the past few months, Nicky has suffered from more than one close accident … In fact, it would appear someone very much wants her dead.
