John Lescroart’s most recent spectacular NY Situations bestseller explores the unexpected and shattering effects of the one-night stand on a seemingly happily married couple-a “dark, disturbing, satisfying go through” (San Francisco Chronicle) that asks us to consider just how much we really know about the lives of our closest friends.

Fatal is John Lescroart’s most highly acclaimed and biggest offering reserve lately. As the Huffington Post raves, “Lescroart is certainly a get good at storyteller as he understands how about Fatal: A Book to build a plot and how to create completely developed characters. In both these departments, this book comes across as one of his greatest works.”

When Kate Jameson confesses to her oldest friend, Beth Tully, that she’s obsessing about a married man she simply met, Beth is alarmed. Like a San Francisco police detective, Beth has seen over and over the destructive repercussions of infidelity. But Kate, despite her content relationship and two great children, can’t get Peter Ash out of her mind and initiates one intense intimate encounter. Confident that her existence can now return to normal, Kate hardly ever considers that Peter may possibly not be so willing to move on.

Six months later on, Peter Ash’s body washes through to a beach, and Beth is designated the case. As the pool of suspects narrows as well as the secret of who Peter Ash became through the last months of his existence deepens, Beth is forced to observe that the leading suspect might have been best in front of her the complete time.

Fatal is fresh proof that John Lescroart is “a true master of the art” (Associated Press) whose picture should be “printed next to the description of ‘spellbinding’ in the dictionary” (Suspense Journal).
