New York Times bestselling thriller writer Lisa Unger (Black Out, Sliver of Truth, and Beautiful Lies) believes that there is little to fear from strangers and national trends bear this out, revealing that “stranger crimes” are at an all time low across the nation. “Interestingly enough,” she says, “the greatest threat, particularly to women and children, is generally from someone dwelling under the same roof – someone they love and trust. Someone who is sleeping beside them.” This has never been more true than in her riveting and accomplished fourth novel, DIE FOR YOU. Set on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the novel centers around Isabel Raines, who is happily married to Marcus Raines – at least that is who she thinks he is until he leaves for work one morning and never returns.

How do we ever really know someone? How can we be so easily deceived by the person we see every day – and trust the most completely? How can a marriage you believe in be a sham? The story of Isabel’s relentless search for the truth about her husband is filled with psychological insight into the motives behind deceit and greed and how families deceive themselves. With DIE FOR YOU, Unger is hitting her stride and readers will know they are in the hands of a master storyteller.
