Learn morePete Simon's all-American life was everything he had ever wished for: a good home, a satisfying career, and a marriage still strong and loving after nearly twenty years. But in the days following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, everything was about to change. It begins with the appearance of a stranger at his door. The next day his wife Lily disappears, leaving a note behind begging Pete not to follow her.
Now, with a business card from an antiques dealer in Barcelona as his only lead, he sets out to find his missing wife. But each door Pete opens leads him deeper into a painful and shocking past.
A haunting parable of good and evil and all the shades of humanity in between, Turncoat is a rocket-paced roller-coaster ride with surprises at every turn.
Aaron Elkins is a former anthropologist who has been writing mysteries and thrillers since 1982. He won an Edgar for Old Bones, as well as a subsequent Agatha with his wife Charlotte, and a Nero Wolfe Award. His major continuing series features forensic anthropologist-detective Gideon Oliver, "the Skeleton Detective." The Gideon Oliver books have been (roughly) translated into a major ABC-TV series and have been selections of the Book-of-the-Month Club, the Literary Guild, and the Reader's Digest Condensed Mystery Series. His work has been published in a dozen languages. Elkins and his wife live on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Although he has been a full-time writer for some time now, he also remains active in real-life forensics by serving as the forensic anthropologist on the Olympic Peninsula Cold Case Task Force.
Christopher Lane is an award-winning actor, director, and narrator. He has been awarded the prestigious Audie Award for Best Narration several times and has won numerous AudioFile Earphones Awards.
Reviews
“A change of pace [for Elkins]…a darker, more ominous story of World War II-vintage duplicity and deceit.”
“If it’s true that readers like nothing more than to be surprised, then they’re in store for many pleasures in this Elkins thriller…For lucky listeners, the story entails unexpected twists on every cassette.”
“Elkins masterfully weaves both backstory about his characters’ lives and WWII history into a highly suspenseful plot…An outstanding novel.”
“An emotion-drenched, authentically detailed thriller…[Christopher Lane] expertly brings listeners to an apex of fearful tension and then carefully modulates his voice for a smooth descent. With gusto and clarity, Lane enunciates the accent-mixed dialogue and skillfully navigates listeners up and down a stream of risky adventures.”
“Lane has a remarkably deep voice that is almost mesmerizing in the way it takes hold and pulls the listener deep into this gripping thriller. Gripping and absorbing listening as we follow the naïve hero and his pursuit of truth.”
