This Changes Everything - Large Print by Lisa Scottoline (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In this "riveting, deeply felt and empowering thriller that is also a touching ode to female friendship" (Laura Dave) from #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, a woman risks her life to help her closest friend find justice for a tragic crime and realizes she has more power than she ever knew.

Julia Pritzker loves her new life as a wife and mother in beautiful Tuscany--except that she misses her best friend Courtney, back in the States. One night, Julia calls Courtney and reaches her as she's arriving at her grandmother's farm in Pennsylvania.

Then the unthinkable happens. A dreadful premonition overwhelms Julia as Courtney is entering the house--but it's too late to stop Courtney, who makes a heartbreaking discovery. Her beloved grandmother has been murdered, and the killer is escaping out the back door. A distraught Courtney chases him, but he jumps into a pickup truck and gets away.

Julia flies home the next morning to support Courtney in her grief. The local police believe the murder was a botched burglary, but the women suspect something much more sinister. They dig to unearth the truth in a town filled with explosive secrets, and Julia's uncanny intuition points her to the missing pieces of a dark puzzle.

Before long, events take a deadly turn, and Julia becomes the target of a murderous conspiracy. She ends up fighting for her life, with no one to save her ... but herself.

Only a blockbuster talent like Lisa Scottoline can tell this riveting and layered of a story, combining a woman's search for truth with the revelation of her own empowerment, as well as the enduring strength and joys of female friendship.
