Orchard Grove - Hardcover

Praise for ORCHARD GROVE "A riveting story..oh, what a story it is: grisly, surprising, and page-turningly suspenseful. A terrific old-school thriller." --Booklist (starred review) "Captures readers' attention from the opening scene...creates a story that, much like the Forresters' obsession with Lana, is hard to tear away from once a reader is hooked." --BookPage "ORCHARD GROVE is a classic slice of raw pulp noir, with all the traditional juicy ingredients: a dangerous woman, a loutish husband, and a sap to come between them." --William Landay, New York Times bestselling author of DEFENDING JACOB "ORCHARD GROVE is tightly crafted, smart, disturbing, elegantly complex thriller. It's utterly riveting. I dare you to start it and not keep reading." --M.J. Rose, New York Times bestselling author of THE REINCARNATIONIST "Zandri is a heck of a storyteller. You won't want to stop reading just to see what happens next, and what doesn't. ORCHARD GROVE is wild. It has elements of DOUBLE INDEMNITY and Body Heat, and things you've never encountered before...it's doubtful you'll find a more entertaining ride." --Bookreporter "Riveting...(a) chilling tale of obsessive love." --Publishers Weekly "There is a great deal of tension in this book, keeping the reader engaged and moving quickly through the pages...Zandri does his best work in creating tension and moving the plot forward at a blistering pace." --Reviewing The Evidence Praise for the novels of Vincent Zandri: "Gritty, fast-paced, lyrical and haunting." --Harlan Coben on THE INNOCENT "Zandri demonstrates an uncanny knack for exposition, introducing new characters and narrative possibilities with the confidence of an old pro...Zandri does a superb job creating interlocking puzzle pieces." --New York Post "Readers will be held captive by prose that pounds as steadily as an elevated pulse...Vincent Zandri nails readers attention." --Boston Herald "The action never wanes." --Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinal

Something improved for me when Lana Cattivo moved in next door. I guess you'd have to call it something else, desire, since lust wasn't entirely accurate. But then, neither was love. Not by a long shot. From Thriller and Shamus Award winner Vincent Zandri comes a thriller that shows danger doesn't need to find you - because it's already right next door. Sometimes fences make for nice neighbors. Other times they hide the evil within. Orchard Grove is a town like any other, with quiet neighborhoods and apple groves ...though Ethan, the depressed screenplay writer, and his secretive wife, Susan, would tell you differently. So would the seductive serial killer living next door. The apple trees are fertilized with evil, and the backyard fences aren't enough to stop the manipulative mind games and dangerous lies. The lines between good and evil are blurred, and then erased, as Ethan does what it takes to survive. Orchard Grove is a thriller from a writer lauded as one of the very best working today, that will keep you turning pages long into the night.
