Never Tell

THE INTERNATIONAL NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

'A TSUNAMI OF A THRILLER. This may well be Gardner’s best work' - DAVID BALDACCI
_______________
One death might be an accident.
Two looks like murder.

A man is shot dead in his own home, and his pregnant wife, Evie, is found with the gun in her hands.

Detective D.D. Warren instantly recognises her. Sixteen years ago, Evie also shot her own father. That killing was ruled an accident.

D.D. doesn’t believe in coincidences. But this case isn’t as open and shut as it first appears, and her job is to discover the truth.

Evie might be a victim.

Or she might be about to get away with murder again.
