PETER LEONARD

Kate McCall's husband has been killed by her teenage son, Luke, in a tragic bow-hunting accident. In the aftermath, Jack, a charismatic but troubled ex-con from Kate's past, shows up. When Luke takes off on his own for their rural Michigan cabin, Kate and Jack follow, but they're not the only ones hot on his heels. Two-time losers Teddy and Celeste, along with hitman DeJuan, are all looking to cash in on the money left to Kate. As they all head for the woods of Northern Michigan, events rapidly spiral towards a dramatic life-and-death confrontation. Filled with unforgettable characters, razor-sharp dialogue and masterful plotting, "Quiver" displays the remarkable maturity and verve of a hugely exciting first-time novelist.

El marido de Kate McCall ha sido asesinado por su hijo, Lucas, en un trágico accidente de caza. Mientras Kate lucha por su pérdida y por la culpabilidad de Lucas, Jack, su primer amor y ex convicto vuelve a Detroit. Sin embargo, el retorno de Jack a la sociedad civil desencadena una serie de acontecimientos que culminan en la seduccion peligrosa, la extorsion y un alto riesgo de enfrentamiento con una banda de asesinos que no creen en segundas oportunidades...

When Bobby and Lloyd decide to rob local restaurant owner Lou Starr's home in the night, they don't reckon on being propositioned about an even bigger scam by Lou's so-called girlfriend Karen. But after yet another bad decision in her life Karen has been looking for a way out and, more specifically, a way to recover her life savings, stolen from her by the treacherous Samir. And so set in motion is a plan that sounds all too simple. Following his much loved debut novel, Quiver, Peter Leonard returns to the mean streets of Detroit with a high octane novel of money, guns and some serious double crossing. Featuring a virtuoso cast of bad guys, a disgraced ex-cop who finds himself in more trouble than he bargained for, and an anti-heroine to die for, "Trust Me" is the superb sophomore novel from one of the emergent voices in crime writing today.

El mundo se le viene abajo a Kate cuando su hijo Luke mata accidentalmente a su padre, Owen, mientras estaban cazando. El terrible acontecimiento deja mella en la vida de ambos, pero mientras Kate intenta rehacer su vida, Luke empieza a tener compañías nada recomendables. Tras la muerte de Owen, Kate se convierte, además, en una viuda rica y atractiva para muchos hombres, entre los cuales aparece Jack, un antiguo novio que tratará de reanudar su relación con ella. Kate encontrará paz y consuelo en él, pero por poco tiempo: Luke es secuestrado y sus captores amenazan con devolverlo a trozos si no reciben dos millones de dólares en las próximas treinta y seis horas…
