About this ebook

A rags-to-riches deal for single mother LuAnn Tyler is deadlier than she ever could have imagined in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.

THE DREAM
She is twenty, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever.

THE KILLER
It's an offer she dares to refuse...until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high-stakes, big-money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay...until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich.

THE WINNER
For if LuAnn Tyler comes home, she will be pitted against the deadliest contestant of all: the chameleon-like financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will...

Ratings and reviews

Very disappointing. Extremely boring. Too much " filler". Drags on and on and takes forever to get to the next point. I skimmed through a large portion of the book just wanting it to be over.

David Baldacci writes ~exceptionally~ well. I have always loved to read, and Baldacci's work is a literary treasure. Baldacci's great pacing, carefully crafted suspense, and fantastic dialogue make him a favorite fiction author. I myself write, besides my voracious reading, and I am consistently humbled by Mr. Baldacci's talent. (And, from what I read in his bio, I am impressed by him as a person, too! The WYW Foundation sounds wonderful.)

Great book will definitely keep you flipping the pages. I originally was having trouble reading a book that captured my attention until The Winner. A must read!
