Jeffery Deaver is “the master of ticking-bomb suspense” (People) and Isabella Maldonado is “a writer to watch [who] showcases her own extensive law enforcement background” (Publishers Weekly). The two major bestselling, critically acclaimed authors combine their talents and perspectives in a new co-written thriller, Fatal Intrusion.

Fatal Intrusion is the result of two vivid imaginations as well as meticulous research and real-world experience, as Deaver is a former journalist and Wall Street attorney, and Maldonado worked in law enforcement for 22 years, becoming the first Latina captain in her department before retiring as the commander of special investigations and forensics.

This is classic Deaver/Maldonado—a roller coaster plot and layers of twists sure to surprise even the savviest readers. “Although our backgrounds are very different,” the authors shared, “We have a similar sensibility when it comes to writing crime novels. Unlike in the real world, where murder is often senseless, fiction allows us to explore the motives and backgrounds of those who kill—and to have situations turn out the way they should, instead of the way they often do. For this book, we imagined how two people could put their differences aside to stop both a killer and an insidious plot with far reaching consequences.” “The meeting of two literary giants is exciting, and anyone who’s read Deaver’s or Maldonado’s work knows this is a sure bet to thrill, making it a no-brainer to pre-order.” —The Real Book Spy
