Death of the Black Widow: An unsolvable case becomes an obsession [Paperback] Patterson, James

A husband and father disappears without a trace. His wife — brilliant, beautiful, and deeply unnerving — becomes the prime suspect, but there's no body, no evidence, and no way to prove what everyone suspects. Detective Harriet Blue inherits the case that destroyed her predecessor's career, and it quickly becomes clear why: the Black Widow is always three steps ahead. Patterson delivers a taut psychological game of cat and mouse where the hunter isn't sure who's really in control. The investigation spirals into obsession as Harriet realizes this woman might be Australia's most dangerous killer — or the victim of a witch hunt. Fast-paced and twisty, with Patterson's trademark short chapters that make it dangerously easy to lose a night. Perfect for fans of sharp detective fiction where the antagonist is as compelling as the hero.
