Book Description:
One of today’s most electrifying suspense novelists, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner returns with a shattering thriller that dares to play on our deepest vulnerabilities. In this masterful new novel, the killer may very well be the one you sympathize with the most....
THE FIRST RULE IS NEVER BLAME THE VICTIM.
They survived what no woman should ever have to endure. Now these three women have the means, the opportunity, and the perfect motive. Are they trying to get away with murder--or is someone trying to make sure that this time they don’t get away at all? The Survivors Club. . .that’s what Jillian Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo call it. They won’t consider themselves victims. They are survivors. They faced the blazing headlines and helped lead the investigation that caught the man who changed their lives forever.
And now that Eddie Como, the College Hill rapist, has been murdered, shot down outside a packed courthouse moments before his trial was about to begin, all three women are openly ecstatic that he’s dead. They are also the prime suspects in his murder. Detective Sergeant Roan Griffin knows all too well what can drive even the best people to cross the line. But he has never seen a case quite like this one. No one doubts that the murder of Eddie Como was a professional job, especially when the gunman is killed only blocks away from the shooting.
But questions taunt Griffin: Who ordered the deaths of Eddie Como and his killer? Could three ordinary women have been driven to do he unthinkable? Had someone in the Survivors Club become a killer? Griffin seeks the truth--and finds himself confronted with the leader of the Survivors Club. Jillian Hayes is beautiful, successful, cool as ice, and she harbors a pain that mirrors Griffin’s own. Did the horror of what happened to her push her over the thin and desperate line that separates survival and revenge? And if it did, could he blame her--or anyone in the Survivors Club? Then another woman is brutally attacked.
Suddenly, with the city on the ragged edge of panic, gripped in a media and political firestorm of controversy, cover-up, and conspiracy, the hunt is on for a ruthless and cunning killer. For Griffin, this may well be the case that shatters his career. For Jillian, the harrowing nightmare is beginning all over again. Someone is out there. Someone who wants to finish what was started. Someone who wants to make sure that no one survives the Survivors Club.
From the Hardcover edition.

Great writing style, tricky plot...you won't be able to put it down. This is the story of 3 women (Jillian, Carol & Meg) who were all brutally attacked who formed a "Survivors Club" who helped lead the investigation that captured their attacker. Then another woman is attacked - did they finger the wrong man?

The Survivor's Club...that's what Jillian Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo call it. They won't consider themselves victims. They are survivors. They helped lead the investigation that caught the man who changed their lives forever. Now they are the prime suspects in his murder.
Could three ordinary women have been driven to do the unthinkable? Detective Sargeant Roan Griffin knows all to well what can drive even the best people to cross the line. Has someone in the Survivor's Club become a killer? And if so, can he blame her, let alone bring her to justice?

Jillian Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo call themselves survivors - not victims. They helped lead the investigation that caught the man who changed their lives forever. Now they are the prime suspects in his murder.

Jillian, Meg and Carol refuse to consider themselves victims of a ruthless rapist. They are survivors. When the rapist is murdered, they are then considered suspects. Did their life-changing experience, perhaps, drive one of them to kill?

This was my first Lisa Gardner book, but it won't be my last. Very interesting. Kept my attention until the end!
Linda S. (Gardner writes some kick ass suspense books that defy gravity. Full of twists, turns, surprises and spine tingling edge of your seat thrills, it’s like a roller coaster ride in a book. The pages fly by and before you know it you’ve been up all night.
Eddie Como has been convicted of the rape of 3 women and the rape and murder of a fourth. The three survivors’ have become friends and their own support group which they call The Survivor’s Club. On the day of his sentencing Como is murdered during the transfer to jail. And the alleged assassin is killed in a bomb explosion minutes later. Soon thereafter a series of rapes occurs, all appearing to have been committed by the dead man, Eddie Como. Detective Roan Griffin, recently returned from bereavement leave after the death of his wife, is handed the case. Are the three women somehow involved in Como’s death? And who is behind the subsequent rapes? The ending is a real nail biter, heart in mouth race to the finish, and well worth the ride.
Another great book from Lisa Gardner, quick read, you will enjoy it.

Another fabulous story from Lisa Gardner. Fast-paced and interesting plot!
The first Lisa Gardner book I have read. Great book. Not the same run of the mill thriller. Twists and turns I haven't read in other books!
Suspense, that describes this work. I loved this book couldn't put it down.
This is a unique book about a group of women who form a interesting club - a club that sets out to get revenge on people who have wronged them. Excellent book.
Excellent book! My favorite Lisa Gardner book so far!
