Jake Danser lo tiene todo: una mujer atractiva y rica, una lujosa casa con vistas a la bahía de San Francisco y un trabajo altamente cualificado como psicólogo forense. Pero tiene una debilidad: es infiel. Y un secreto: su pasado. Cuando personas de su entorno empiezan a aparecer asesinadas, el fiscal y la policia le van arrinconando. Es el momento de que Jake demuestre que es inocente a pesar de que todas las pruebas apunten en su direccion. ¿O es que realmente no lo es? Stansberry nos introduce en una atmosfera inquietante, con guiños al mismisimo Hichcock y sus "pajaros", en esta novela ganadora del prestigioso Premio EDGAR, en la que resulta imposible discernir los limites del bien y del mal.
S.E. Reynolds is a former investigative reporter now working as a political ghostwriter. He is thrust into the center of a conspiracy investigation after an illicit romance turns deadly. His efforts to untangle himself only entangle him deeper, drawing the attention of government agents with their own agenda.An unlikely hero, candidly amoral, shunning idealism, Reynolds works for candidates at either side of the political spectrum. At the same time, he possesses a deep if complicated love for family: his beautiful, unknowable wife; his aging parents; his children.The Lizard is the story of man trapped between a relentless security apparatus and a personal reckoning from which there is no apparent escape. As the tale unfolds, the differences between the outer world and the inner inexorably dissolve, leading to psychic and physical transformation at once unimaginable and inevitable.
