David Baldacci (geb. 1960): The Winner, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

HE HAD ONE QUESTION TO ASK HER, ONE SIMPLE QUESTION THAT CARRIED THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY COMPLEX REPERCUSSIONS.

LuAnn Tyler is a single parent striving to escape a life of poverty. Then a mysterious man known as Jackson makes her an offer he thinks no one can refuse: a guarantee to be the winner of a $100 million lottery jackpot. But LuAnn is suspicious and refuses.

Less than twenty-four hours later, she is fleeing for her life, running from a false murder charge. Jackson's offer - and its condition that she leave the country forever - seems to be her only hope.

Ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the United States to begin a new life with Matt Riggs, a man whose origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her trail, as have the FBI and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who can help her. But is help what Matt intends or is he, too, closing in for the kill?
