Lotto winners beware!! What an incredible concept and so very wonderfully composed by another master of the crime/thriller/mystery genre. A criminal mastermind dupes struggling women into buying lottery tickets for the monthly nationwide drawing with promises of a $100 million payoff.What happens afterwards to many of these 'winners', well, let's just say they would have been better off saying HELL NO. Not so fast, should someone turn this depraved evil genius down on his offer they would be,Probably my favorite Baldacci book. If you love a good mystery, this book is sure to please!
What would you do if you were dirt poor, uneducated and the single mother of an infant as well as finding out the baby's father was dealing drugs and is now dead at your feet and you probably killed the man who killed him.

LuAnn Tyler was all of those things and became involved with a psychopath, one of his former employees, an award winning reporter and an ex-FBI man in an effort to free herself from this man of many faces.
Above average plot with intricate developments, but it was missing the wow factor. Good but not great.REVIEWER'S OPINION:To let readers know where I'm coming from, my preferred genre is romance novels. The fact that I liked this should mean something since it is off genre for me. Throughout the book there was the underlying frustration of how can anyone ever stop this bad guy, but he gets it eventually. The story was excellent mechanically with good showing not telling. I would have liked more
