Phantom Instinct
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In Edgar Award–winning author Meg Gardiner's new stand-alone thriller, an injured cop and an ex-thief hunt down a killer nobody else believes exists.
When shots ring out in a crowded Los Angeles club, bartender Harper Flynn watches helplessly as her boyfriend, Drew, is gunned down in the cross fire. Then somebody throws a Molotov cocktail, and the club is quickly engulfed in flames. LA sheriff's deputy Aiden Garrison sees a gunman in a hoodie and gas mask taking aim at Harper, but before he can help her a wall collapses, bringing the building down and badly injuring him.
A year later, Harper is trying to rebuild her life. She has quit her job and gone back to college. Meanwhile, the investigation into the shoot-out has been closed. The two gunmen were killed when the building collapsed.
Certain that a third gunman escaped and is targeting the survivors, Harper enlists the help of Aiden Garrison, the only person willing to listen. But the traumatic brain injury he suffered has cut his career short and left him with Fregoli syndrome, a rare type of face blindness that causes the delusion that random people are actually a single person changing disguises.
As Harper and Aiden delve into the case, Harper realizes that her presence during the attack was no coincidence—and that her only ally is unstable, mistrustful of her, and seeing the same enemy everywhere he looks.

April 7, 2014
Fans of tough-to-kill heroines and thrillers in the Dirty Harry tradition will best appreciate this standalone from Edgar-winner Gardiner (The Shadow Tracer). Harper Flynn, who’s trying to bury her sordid past, is lucky to survive the attack on Xenon, the L.A. club where she tends bar; her boyfriend, Drew Westerman, was fatally shot. Aiden Garrison, a sheriff’s detective suffering from a rare career-ending psychological injury that makes him confuse people’s appearances, took out two gunmen at the scene, but he’s sure another escaped. Together, Aiden and Harper pursue this third man and his vicious attack dog through a protracted series of red herrings, gruesome deaths by dog and sledgehammer, and bloody shoot-’em-ups. Gardiner tries hard to temper terror with steamy romance and a secondary character who is a computer hacker, but a climactic pursuit that lasts more than 100 pages feels like overkill, while a dramatic revelation by Drew’s obnoxious teenage sister, Piper, fails to convince. Agent: Deborah Schneider, Gelfman Schneider Literary Agents.
