#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An incredible new page-turner from thriller master David Baldacci...

THE DREAM
She is twenty, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever.

THE KILLER
It's an offer she dares to refuse...until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high-stakes, big-money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay...until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich.

THE WINNER
For if LuAnn Tyler comes home, she will be pitted against the deadliest contestant of all: the chameleonlike financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will... Download and start listening now!

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Alan L | 6/2/2019

    " Trite and predictable, with far too many long-winded mental musings and frequent overuse of superlatives to describe the protagonist. Actually laughed out loud at the stilted dialogue and narrative when I wasn't rolling my eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed the other Baldacci books I've read, but this one is a stinker and makes me wonder who really wrote it. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Christine | 2/16/2014

    " Very entertaining. Kept me enthralled. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Samanthajocampen | 2/12/2014

    " This book captivated me. It's highly suspenseful and a quick read. Made me think long and hard about the meaning of money and the consequences of having too much. How far would YOU go to win the lottery? Tough call. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Jayce | 2/9/2014

    " I found the writing and the subject matter to be somewhat boring, so I couldn't finish this one. Maybe it's because I'd just read another novel set around the same time (1997) which caused it to feel dated. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Gretchen | 11/9/2013

    " OK, I was trapped in a hotel with only the free cart of used mass market paperbacks to read. I guess I would describe this as the poorman's John Grisham. A somewhat fantastical and interesting plot concept marred by poor writing and cliches throughout "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Casey | 10/7/2013

    " One of his earlier works. A good, entertaining read. "
