XO (Coming June 2012)
Jeffery Deaver sets his heroine Kathryn Dance on a quest to stop an obsessive stalker from destroying a beautiful young country singer.
Kayleigh Towne is gorgeous with a voice that is taking her to the heights
of the country pop charts. Her hit single "Your Shadow" puts her happily in the spotlight, until an innocent exchange with one of her fans leads Kayleigh into a dark and terrifying realm. The fan warns, "I'm coming
for you," and soon accidents happen and people close to Kayleigh die. Special Agent Kathryn Dance must use her considerable skills at investigation and body language analysis to stop the stalker—but before
long she learns that, like many celebrities, Kayleigh has more than just one fan with a mission.
XO is a typical Deaver novel, a roller coaster of multiple plots. What appears on the surface may or may not be what's really going on.
A former folksinger, Deaver has written the actual song, "Your Shadow." Readers will be able to download it from this website. That, along with a few other "Kayleigh Towne" tunes, has been recorded in Nashville.
XO will be released on June 12, 2012, in the USA and Canada, and on June 21, 2012, in the UK and Ireland. Read an excerpt now.
Reviews:
"Deaver's excellent third novel featuring Kathryn Dance.... Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, the leads of Deaver's other series, make cameo appearances in a novel sure to please fans of both series."
— Publishers Weekly, * Starred Review
"Fans of Deaver's celebrated sleuthing marathons will wait with bated breath as this onion is peeled to disclose multiple layers of deception, betrayal and
triple crosses."
— Kirkus Reviews
"Written with Deaver's usual keen eye for dialogue and character and featuring his customary right-angle plot twists, the novel will be a sure-fire hit
with not only his legion of fans but also with readers who have yet to sample a Deaver novel. And Deaver fans who have felt that the Dance novels aren't quite as sharp as his Lincoln Rhyme series might have to think
again. This may be the most compelling of the Dance books."
