<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Riveting and disquieting, <i>After Anna</i> is a groundbreaking domestic thriller, as well as a novel of emotional justice and legal intrigue. <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Lisa Scottoline keeps readers on their toes until the final shocking page.</b> <p/><b>Nobody cuts deeper than family...</b> <p/>Dr. Noah Alderman, a widower and single father, has remarried a wonderful woman, Maggie Ippolitti, and for the first time in a long time, he and his young son are happy. Despite her longing for the daughter she hasn't seen since she was a baby, Maggie is happy too, and she's even more overjoyed when she unexpectedly gets another chance to be a mother to the child she thought she'd lost forever, her only daughter Anna. <p/>Maggie and Noah know that having Anna around will change their lives, but they would never have guessed that everything would go wrong, and so quickly. Anna turns out to be a gorgeous seventeen-year-old who balks at living under their rules, though Maggie, ecstatic to have her daughter back, ignores the red flags that hint at the trouble brewing in a once-perfect marriage and home. <p/>Events take a heartbreaking turn when Anna is murdered and Noah is accused and tried for the heinous crime. Maggie must face not only the devastation of losing her daughter, but the realization that Anna's murder may have been at the hands of a husband she loves. In the wake of this tragedy, new information drives Maggie to search for the truth, leading her to discover something darker than she could have ever imagined. <p/><b>Praise for Lisa Scottoline: <br></b><br>A <b>deliciously distracting thriller</b>...Scottoline illuminat[es] the landing strip of revelations and truths in a deliciously<b> slow and intense way.</b> --<i>The Washington Post</i> on <i>After Anna</i> <p/>Scottoline<b> keeps the pace relentless </b>as she drops a looming threat into the heart of an idyllic suburban community, <b> causing readers to hold their breath in anticipation.</b> --<i>Booklist </i>on <i>One Perfect Lie</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Praise for <i>After Anna: <p/></i></b>A <b>deliciously distracting thriller</b>...Scottoline illuminat[es] the landing strip of revelations and truths in a deliciously <b>slow and intense way</b>. --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>Filled with<b> plenty of twists and complex characters</b>, this entertaining story builds to a<b> satisfying conclusion</b>. --<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>A <b>nail-biting thriller</b>. --<i>Kirkus<br></i><br>Scottoline, a <b>master at crafting intense family dramas, </b>expertly twists Maggie's reality with a <b>page-turning mix of guilt, self-delusion, and manipulation</b>. --<i>Booklist</i> <p/><b>Praise for </b><i>One Perfect Lie</i><b>: </b> <p/>Scottoline<b> keeps the pace relentless </b>as she drops a looming threat into the heart of an idyllic suburban community, <b> causing readers to hold their breath in anticipation.</b> --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>Readers can be assured that the author nails the high school milieu, from athletic rivalries to sexting...<b>they're in for one thrilling ride.</b> --<i>Kirkus</i> <p/><b>Entertaining</b>...This <b>fast-paced read</b> culminates in a daring chase that would play well on the big screen. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> LISA SCOTTOLINE is the #1 bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of the Rosato & DiNunzio series, as well as <i>One Perfect Lie, Most Wanted, </i>and many others.
