Somebody Else's Music

"Dazzlingly ingenious, Jane Haddam's novels provide style, humor, and philosophy blended with gore galore-they're real spellbinders, sparklingly written and smashingly plotted." --Drood Review Every school class has a target. It was just the way the world worked. A long time ago, in the small town of Hollman, Pennsylvania, it was Liz Toliver, once too smart and too shy for her own good. Today, she's a popular author, and an esteemed CNN panelist engaged to a rock star. She has everything-including nightmares about the dreadful summer night when she was seventeen. It was a practical joke by six female classmates that ended with Liz in a coma, a young boy with his throat slit, and unshakeable memories that she's never forgotten. Or forgiven. Now, thirty years later, she's coming home to visit old haunts, and play catch-up with old friends. The curious homecoming has captured the attention of Gregor Demarkian, retired chief of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit. Doggedly pursuing the truth, he has his own questions about what really happened that night. But as a diabolical chain of events is triggered by Liz's return, no one will be prepared for the answers-or the final outcome... "Crisp character development and a roadrunner-swift plot." -Publishers WeeklyHaddam, Jane is the author of 'Somebody Else's Music' with ISBN 9780312983062 and ISBN 0312983069.
