Every Three Hours

Summary

The new pulse-pounding latest instalment in the outstanding Darby McCormick series.

'One of the best thriller writers working today'
Lee Child

WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES? ONLY TIME WILL TELL...

Forensic investigator Darby McCormick queues to enter Boston Police Headquarters on a freezing winter morning. Lured back to her hometown to help solve a cold case, Darby won't get far inside the station - and this will be no ordinary homecoming...

Because someone suddenly takes a woman hostage and a stand-off ensues. The man has explosives strapped to himself and other bombs hidden around the city, rigged to explode - every three hours - until he gets what he wants.

Working desperately against the clock, Darby realizes she is trapped between a kidnapper who would kill to expose the truth and people who would let others die to hide their lies...
