| Summary, Etc. |
Eleven bestselling thriller authors prove they're up to a unique challenge in this action-packed collection from international thriller writers. It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global bestselling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven bingeable stories that are twisty, scary, surprising, and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.
