Fear Nothing (Detective D.D. Warren 7) Gardner, Lisa

Boston Detective D.D. Warren has seen plenty of crime scenes, but none like this — a woman shot dead in her bed, surrounded by guns, a history of violence, and a past she spent years hiding. The victim claimed to suffer from a rare genetic disorder that made her incapable of feeling pain or fear. But was she really a monster, or a victim herself? As D.D. digs deeper, the case spirals into territory that blurs the line between predator and prey, pulling her into a confrontation with her own buried trauma. Lisa Gardner writes twisty psychological thrillers with sharp prose and relentless pacing. This is the seventh in the D.D. Warren series, but it works as a standalone. For fans of Karin Slaughter and Harlan Coben who want their crime fiction dark, propulsive, and impossible to put down before midnight.
