An ex-FBI agent in suburbia feels driven to investigate her neighbor
in the “delicious” new novel from the New York Times–bestselling
author (Newsday). Just a few years ago, Corie Geller was busting
terrorists as an agent for the FBI. But at thirty-five, she traded in
her badge and married the brilliant and remarkably handsome Judge Josh
Geller, becoming adoptive mother of his lovely teenage daughter.
Between cooking meals and playing chauffeur, Corie scouts Arabic
fiction for a few literary agencies and, on Wednesdays, has lunch with
her fellow Shorehaven freelancers at a so-so French restaurant. Life
is, as they say, fine. But at her weekly lunches, Corie senses that
something's off. Pete Delaney, a milquetoast package designer, always
shows up early, sits in the same spot (often with a different phone in
hand), and keeps one eye on the Jeep he parks in the lot across the
street. Corie intuitively feels that Pete is hiding something—and as
someone accustomed to keeping her FBI past from her new neighbors, she
should know. But does Pete really have a shady alternate life, or is
Corie just imagining things, desperate to add some spark to her
humdrum suburban existence? The only way to find out is to dust off
her FBI toolkit and take a deep dive into Pete Delaney’s
affairs . . . “[Isaacs] has us chasing Corie all over the map,
charmed by this motormouth sleuth’s snappy wit and awed by her
courage.” —The New York Times Book Review “Corie’s combat
skills and investigative prowess are still up to snuff, but her snarky
commentary and hilarious interactions with her father are the real
page-turners here.” —Booklist
