First Thrills: Child, Дивер, Слотер

Con men and killers, aliens and zombies, priests and soldiers - just some of the characters that kill and thrill in this compelling collection of gun-toting, double-crossing, back-stabbing, pulse-pounding stories.

Jeffery Deaver investigates the suspicious death of a crime-writer in `The Plot`; Karin Slaughter`s grieving widow takes revenge on her dying ex-husband in `Cold, Cold Heart`; Stephen Coonts discovers a flying saucer in the depths of the ocean in `Savage Planet` and John Lescroat`s secret field agent finds himself caught up in a complex game of cat-and-mouse in `The Gate Conundrum`.

Handpicked by world number one Lee Child, celebrity authors and stars of the future are brought together, writing brand-new stories, especially commissioned for this must-have collection. Whether you`re reading today`s bestseller or tomorrow`s phenomenon, grisly horror or paranoia thriller, historical suspense or supernatural crime, one thing`s for certain. You`ll be thrilled to the core.
