Lisa Unger left a career in publishing to pursue her dream of becoming a full-time author. Her first book, BEAUTIFUL LIES, became a New York Times bestseller and was sold to 20 countries in heated auctions. SLIVER OF TRUTH was the highly anticipated follow-up. Black Out is Lisa's first stand alone novel and Die for You is her latest. Lisa lives in Florida with her husband and their daughter.
Bestseller Unger's sensational second thriller (after Beautiful Lies) puts her in the same league as such genre masters as Peter Straub and Peter Abrahams. From the cryptic opening section, which ends with a New York Times reporter finding her husband bleeding to death, Unger grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go. Meanwhile, the FBI informs Ridley Jones, a magazine writer, that her late uncle, Max Smiley (who's really her biological father), is still alive and being sought by assorted international players on all sides of the law. Rapidly finding that little in her life is what it seems, Jones is horrified to be confronted with evidence indicating that Smiley is a misogynistic monster of the first order, who may have played a role in the murder of the reporter's husband. Unger's gifts for dialogue and pacing set this far above the standard novel of suspense and will leave many anxiously awaiting her third book. 10-city author tour. (Jan.)
