Her Prodigal Husband eBook

From the award-winning author of the internationally-bestselling Brigid Quinn thrillers, which have been translated into twenty languages, comes this gripping series spin-off: an upmarket novel of domestic suspense about a pair of sisters nicknamed Malice and Lethal, and a husband who vanishes into thin air, only to reappear and throw a bomb into both their lives

Alice Einstein known as Malice to her former schoolfriends likes to tell herself stories. Theres a good one shes workshopping about how, despite once being a critically acclaimed literary novelist, shes ended up blocked and uninspired, living in her timid, conflict-averse sister Liesls spare room.

But then Liesl sends her an SOS worthy of a thriller novel. The horror! The horror! Sam is back.

Sam, Liesls wealthy ex-husband, vanished ten years ago, leaving her a chunk of money but no explanation. Sam is handsome, charming, manipulative . . . and now he claims hes sick. But Alice, with her experience of spinning tales, knows a liar when she sees one.

Haunted by a childhood tragedy that gave birth to the cruel nickname Lethal, Liesl now specialises in saving things: dogs, children, sisters. Telling herself its time she returned the favor, Alice engages the services of Brigid Quinn, a hardboiled local private investigator with a shady past, to help her get rid of Sam for good.

But as the plot thickens, Alice begins to wonder if she knows anyone involved most of all herself quite as well as she thinks . . .

Packed with quirky, colorful characters, and with a nail-biting, slowburn plot, Her Prodigal Husband is a nail-biting novel of domestic suspense that raises thought-provoking questions about self-deception, the power of stories, and what it means to be a family, and marks the long-awaited return of Brigid Quinn, one of the most memorable FBI agents since Clarice Starling (Publishers Weekly).
