In New York Times bestselling author Jeff Abbott' s latest novel of riveting psychological suspense, an uneasy alliance forms as two widows delve into their husbands' deadly and dangerous secrets--as they try to protect their own. Henry North is a down-on-his-luck cybersecurity expert from New Orleans. Adam Zhang is the cofounder of one of Austin' s most successful venture capitalist firms. These two men didn' t know each other. They had never met. Yet they died together, violently, in a place neither had any business being. When Henry doesn' t return from a business trip, his wife, Kirsten, panics--and then gets an anonymous phone call: "Your husband is dead in Austin. " Flora Zhang knew her husband was keeping secrets. She suspected an affair, but she had decided she could forgive him for his weakness--until her husband ended up dead. And with no explanation for her husband' s murder, the police begin to suspect her. Together, these two widows will face a powerful foe determined to write a false narrative about the murders. In doing so, neither Flora nor Kirsten will remain the women the world thought they were.
PRAISE FOR NEVER ASK ME: Abbott writes in an authoritative way about the protocols, many of them maddening, of adopting a child. He also has a real understanding of the emotional roller-coaster couples going through the process must endure. --New York Times Book Review PRAISE FOR JEFF ABBOTT: Abbott uses his skills as a master storyteller to convey a complicated and ambitious tale that seems straightforward but is full of twists and red herrings. He also keeps the story moving without falling into cliches or over-the-top revelations. The mystery works because of the terrific characters and the beautiful road map he unveils while navigating the reader through a complex landscape. Those who enjoy unpredictable stories can never go wrong diving into the world of Jeff Abbott. --Washington Post [A] suspenseful novel by a master of the psychological thriller. --p. p1 {margin: 0. 0px 0. 0px 0. 0px 0. 0px; font: 12. 0px Times}Booklist Abbott is a master of misdirection. --Library Journal Cunning and complex. --Publishers Weekly Like a stage magician, Abbott often seems to be doing one thing when he' s actually doing something else, and when we realize what he' s been up to, we can' t help but shake our heads in admiration. --Booklist No one exposes the dark, fraught underbelly of suburban America quite like Abbott, and his propulsive latest, depicting the relationships between families tied together via an overseas-adoption process, is a proper humdinger. --p. p1 {margin: 0. 0px 0. 0px 0. 0px 0. 0px; font: 12. 0px Times}Boston Globe NEVER ASK ME produces almost unbearable tension and suspense. . .
