Daddy's Girl

‘Lisa Scottoline has been added to my list of must-read authors' Janet Evanovich

Natalie Greco’s quiet and idyllic, if not predictable, life turns chaotic when a violent riot breaks out while she is teaching a course at the local prison.

As Nat rushes to give CPR to a grievously injured prison guard, he asks her to deliver a cryptic message with his last words: “Tell my wife, it’s under the floor.”

The dying declaration plunges Nat into a nightmare. Suddenly, the girl who has always followed the rules finds herself suspected of a brutal murder. She encounters threats to her life around every curve, from ruthless killers desperate to keep her from exposing their secret. In the meantime, she gets dangerously close to Angus, a fellow colleague, whose warmth, strength, and ponytail shake her dedication to her boyfriend.

With her love life in jeopardy, her career in the balance, and her life on the line, Nat is thrown back on her resources, her intelligence, and her courage. Forced into hiding to stay alive, she sets out to save herself by deciphering the puzzle behind one man’s last words. And learns the secret behind the greatest puzzle of all — herself.

Daddy's Girl is a fast-paced thriller from the much-loved New York Times bestselling author, and Natalie Greco is an unlikeable heroine, forced to leave the shelter of academia and fight for her freedom.
