. Box N 15 EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL \n \n“Startlingly inventive.” —The New York Times Book Review \n \nA highly praised debut novel of psychological suspense about a daring art heist, a cat-and-mouse waiting game, and a small-town girl’s mesmerizing transformation \n \nOn the grubby outskirts of Paris, Grace restores bric-a-brac, mends teapots, and resets gems. She calls herself Julie, says she’s from California, and slips back to a rented room at night. In truth, home is Garland, Tennessee, where two young men have just been paroled. Both were jailed for a crime that Grace planned. The heist went bad—but not before she was on a plane to Prague, contraband in her bag. As Grace’s web of deception unravels, she begins a cat-and-mouse game that echoes the best of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith and is sure to appeal to fans of The Girl on the Train.

A bleak tone, deeply flawed protagonist, and dysfunctional relationships will draw well-deserved comparisons to Gillian Flynn.” \n \n—Library Journal \n \n“Scherm mixes a character study with caper novel full of double-crosses, lies, and betrayals.” \n \n—Publishers Weekly \n \n-- \n \n

Sobre Deb's Book Paradise
We hand-select our slightly used often new condition and one-of-a-kind book selections. We treat them with the dignity they deserve. We also publish titles that you can buy through us. These purchases help support sustainable indie publishing. We may be a little guy but our books are HUGE. Deb is not only a lifelong book collector (hoarder) she is the author of 13 traditionally published books. Her most recent is a bestselling memoir written with the youngest member of the Manson Family Cult. Deb's entire adult life has been spent selecting books for her husband's literary agency, writing books, publishing books and now selling them to you. By the way, Deb's first job aside from getting fired from a fast-food restaurant, was at B. Dalton's Booksellers. Doesn't that bring you back?
