'Baldacci is the master' - Jeffrey Archer ***** It's a deadly game . . . LuAnn Tyler is a single parent striving to escape a life of endless poverty. Then a mysterious Mr Jackson makes her an offer he thinks no one can refuse: a guarantee to be the winner of the $100 million lottery. But LuAnn won't do it. Less than twenty-four hours later, she is fighting for her life and running from a false murder charge. Jackson's offer - and its condition that she leave the country forever - seems her only hope. Ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the United States to begin a new life with Matthew Riggs, a man whose origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her trail, as have the FBI - and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who can help her. But is help what Matt intends . . . or is he, too, closing in for the kill? Perfect for fans of the Atlee Pine and Travis Devine series, The Winner is a novel brimming with suspense-filled roller-coaster action from internationally bestselling author David Baldacci. ***** KILLER TWISTS.
