The Fault Tree

This chilling novel of suspense and unseen danger hailed is "a great nail-biter . . . Moran is headed straight for the thriller hall of fame" (Lee Child, New York Times–bestselling author).

Arizona auto mechanic Cadence Moran is no stranger to darkness. Since she was blinded eight years ago in a horrific car accident that also took the life of her three-year-old niece, she has struggled to deal with the lingering guilt and pain. But she manages to get by.

Then, on the way home from work, she is almost run down in the street by a speeding car. At first, Cadence thinks she's the victim of road rage, bad driving, or just plain bad luck. But the truth is far more terrifying. Someone out there thinks she's a witness to murder—one that needs to be eliminated. Now Cadence must piece together a deadly puzzle in the dark. And if she can't, that darkness will certainly lead to her death . . .

Contrasting the glare of a Southwestern summer with the shadows of a blind woman's nightmares, The Fault Tree delivers "an original and gripping work, more proof—as if any was needed—that Louise Ure is an exciting new voice in the mystery field (Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author of Wilde Lake).
