By John Verdon. 2010
An extraordinary fiction debut, Think of a Number is an exquisitely plotted novel of suspense that grows relentlessly darker and…
more frightening as its pace accelerates, forcing its deeply troubled characters to moments of startling self-revelation. Arriving in the mail over a period of weeks are taunting letters that end with a simple declaration, "Think of any number...picture it...now see how well I know your secrets." Amazingly, those who comply find that the letter writer has predicted their random choice exactly. For Dave Gurney, just retired as the NYPD's top homicide investigator and forging a new life with his wife, Madeleine, in upstate New York, the letters are oddities that begin as a diverting puzzle but quickly ignite a massive serial murder investigation. What police are confronted with is a completely baffling killer, one who is fond of rhymes filled with threats and warnings, whose attention to detail is unprecedented, and who has an uncanny knack for disappearing into thin air. Even more disturbing, the scale of his ambition seems to widen as events unfold. Brought in as an investigative consultant, Dave Gurney soon accomplishes deductive breakthroughs that leave local police in awe. Yet, even as he matches wits with his seemingly clairvoyant opponent, Gurney's tragedy-marred past rises up to haunt him, his marriage approaches a dangerous precipice, and finally, a dark, cold fear builds that he's met an adversary who can't be stopped. In the end, fighting to keep his bearings amid a whirlwind of menace and destruction, Gurney sees the truth of what he's become - what we all become when guilty memories fester - and how his wife Madeleine's clear-eyed advice may be the only answer that makes sense. A work that defies easy labels -- at once a propulsive masterpiece of suspense and an absorbing immersion in the lives of characters so real we seem to hear their heartbeats - Think of a Number is a novel you'll not soon forget.From the Hardcover edition.Hostage: A Novel (Bride Series)

Vincent se lanzó a sí mismo en su trabajo bastante vigorosamente, lo que resultó en un récord de “colección” cerca del cien por ciento. Este récord perfecto llamó la atención de personas importantes en la organización. Estas personas empezaron a vigilar a Vincent. Cuando Vincent tenía dieciocho años, fue invitado a conocer a Leo Lesko. Lesko estaba a cargo de una cadena de corredores de apuestas en la organización, lo que lo hacia el jefe del jefe de Vincent. Vincent se reunió con Leo en una cabina en el bar McFeely en Third Street. McFeely’s, o como lo llamaban en la calle “McFeelme’s,” era conocido por servir bebidas fuertes a clientes más fuertes, y había estado en el mismo lugar por quince años al momento de la reunión. Third Street había sido abandonada, y apenas estaba empezando a ganarse su sobrenombre de “Hooker Hollow” o “Puta Hueca”. “Vincent,” dijo Lesko, que le hacía señas para que se sentase. “Gracias por venir.” Vincent asintió, y luego se sentó al frente de Lesko. “Iré directo al punto, Vincent. Creemos que tu jefe esta rasgando un poco extra de la punta.” “Yo no sé nada acerca de eso, Sr. Lesko.” Lesko asintió. “Sabemos que no Vincent.” El bebió de su cerveza, la bajó, y continuó. “Lo que necesitamos de ti es que mantengas tus ojos abiertos por nosotros. Queremos que observes a tu jefe. Busca por algo inusual, y haznos saber lo que veas. ¿Puedes hacer eso por nosotros Vincent?” Lesko observó como Vincent le daba vuelta a las posibilidades dentro de su cabeza.
