Blindspot - by Maggie Smith (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"A smart, twisty cat-and-mouse revenge tale."

- Robert Dugoni, NY Times Best Selling Author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

An ambitious district attorney. An enemy she can't see. A daughter at risk.

From the author of the award-winning Truth and Other Lies comes a gripping suspense novel about an ambitious prosecutor on the hunt for her sadistic stalker, only to find herself framed for murder when he turns up dead.

Rachel Matthews is used to stress-from the cutthroat world of the district attorney's office to her escalating clashes with her teenage daughter. So when a stranger sends a lavish bouquet with a macabre message and leaves a disturbing video on her doorstep, she's quick to act. Teaming up with an old classmate turned private investigator, she wades through old case files, searching for someone harboring a grudge against her.

But before she has time to pinpoint a suspect, her stalker issues a demand-he wants money, lots of it, or he'll hurt her daughter. In a dangerous gamble, Rachel agrees to meet her stalker on an isolated beach, only to find herself fleeing from a shocking crime scene. Can she solve the puzzle of who wants to destroy her before she loses her family, her career, and her freedom?

Fans of Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent will embrace this taut tale of long-simmering revenge right up to its surprising and twisty climax.

Review Quotes

"A smart, twisty cat-and-mouse revenge tale. If you love fast-paced suspense reads with flawed, relatable characters and twists you don't see coming, you'll love this book." - Robert Dugoni, NYTimes Best Selling Author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

"Blindspot is a twisty, unnerving thriller that will keep you guessing! I had no idea what to expect next. With memorable characters, a tense story, and plenty of surprises, Maggie Smith kept me glued to the page." - Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author

"Maggie Smith's BLINDSPOT is a clever, authentic crime novel. It delivers not only velvety-smooth prose, an appealing protagonist I'd go out to lunch with, but a denouement that surprised me. The author also slips in a subtle but genuine sense of humor that kept me reading. This is a must-read!" - Libby Fischer Hellmann, author of The Ellie Foreman Mystery Series

"Smith's carefully unfolding exploration of the protagonist's intricate psyche deftly parallels the rising action as ADA Matthews moves ever closer to unmasking the stalker's true identity, while her taut, economical prose leave plenty of room for the revelations to flow freely. An often-crafty whodunit laced with traditional elements of mystery and suspense," - Kirkus Reviews

"In Maggie's Smith's signature way, she keeps BLINDSPOT racing along, with equal propulsion from the suspense of the plot -- who's behind what's happening, and why? -- and the suspense of the narrator's personal life -- what will be the effect of all this on her family and her relationships with them? It's a masterful balancing act, with neither question outweighing the other. I raced through it myself." - SJ Rozan, best-selling author of THE MAYORS OF NEW YORK
