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�如icture
it�好ow 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.
