Synopsis Anything for You by : Saul Black

A detective must reckon with her past and future as she probes a lawyer’s grisly murder in this crime thriller by the author of The Killing Lessons. On a hot summer night, a watchful neighbor locks eyes with an intruder and unwittingly alerts the police to a vicious crime scene next door: a lavish master bedroom where a man lies dead. Next to him, his wife is bleeding out onto the hardwood floor, clinging to life. The victim, Adam Grant, was a well-known San Francisco prosecutor—a man whose connection to homicide detective Valerie Hart brings her face-to-face with a life she’s long since left behind. Adam’s career made him an easy target, and forensic evidence points towards an ex-con he put behind bars years ago. But while Adam’s wife and daughter grapple with their tragic loss, Valerie uncovers devastating clues that point in a more ominous direction. Lurking in the shadows of the Grants’ pristine life is a mysterious blonde who holds the key to a very different—and much darker—story . . . As Valerie struggles to forge a new path for herself, the investigation forces her to confront the question: can we ever really leave our pasts behind? Praise for Anything for You “[A] hard as nails detective novel, satisfyingly twisted story, and the writing is sharp as the devil.” —Stephen King “A rare thriller that picks up both style and momentum as the pages fly. A first-rate suspense novel.” —Peter Blauner, bestselling author of Sunrise Highway “Gritty and grim, this is a terrific thriller made more luminous by its refreshingly human detective.” —Kirkus Reviews
