“Laura Lippman is among the select group of novelists who have invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work.” —George Pelecanos “Lippman’s taut, mesmerizing, and exceptionally smart drama of predator and prey is at once unusually sensitive and utterly compelling. — Booklist Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of What the Dead Know, Life Sentences, and the acclaimed Tess Monaghan p.i. series, delivers a stunning stand-alone novel that explores the lasting effects on lives touched by crime. With I’d Know You Anywhere , Lippman—master of mystery and psychological suspense, winner of every major literary prize given for crime fiction, including the Edgar®, Agatha, and Nero Wolfe Awards—tells a gripping and richly textured tale of a young woman whose life dangerously entwines once again with a man on Death Row who had kidnapped her when she was a teenager. This is superior mystery writing in the vein of Kate Atkinson.   “Lippman has not only expanded the frontiers of genre fiction, she has enriched literature as a whole.” - Chicago Sun-Times “Lippman is a writing powerhouse.” - USA Today “Award-winning Lippman continues to send depth charges into the sea of crime fiction, taking measure of psychic pain in the wake of violence, and the mysteries of memory.... Stoked by stinging dialogue and arresting evocations of the fog of fear, doubt, and guilt versus the laser-lock pursuit of survival, Lippman’s taut, mesmerizing, and exceptionally smart drama of predator and prey is at once unusually sensitive and utterly compelling.” - Booklist (starred review) “Ex-journalist Lippman never forgets as she moves from past to present and from perspective to perspective that nothing is more important―or more elusive―than the truth.” - Kirkus Reviews How likely is it that a suburban wife and mother who was kidnapped at age 15 and held for almost six weeks by a rapist and murderer would let her former captor con her into visiting him on death row? The odds don’t look great, but then again, a good writer, like a clever sociopath, can talk people into all kinds of improbable situations. Laura Lippman is quite a good writer, and in her creepy psychological-suspense novel, I’D KNOW YOU ANYWHERE, she sets up this bizarre scenario as a way to examine the power that comes from intimate knowledge of another person.” - New York Times Book Review From its gripping opening pages about a burned-out author’s bookstore reading, Laura Lippman’s “Life Sentences” may be the most absorbing, entertaining mystery published in the last year. Lippman does it all, from creating vivid, three-dimensional characters, to painting a beautifully detailed portrait of her hometown, Baltimore, to crafting a plot that drives readers along at a fast clip while simultaneously building suspense as one dramatic revelation leads to another. - Boston Globe Laura Lippman is a virtuoso.... burnishes the author’s reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary fiction... By novel’s end, when the frayed filaments of plot are fluently braided and bound, Ms. Lippman has once more challenged, realigned and ultimately transcended the boundaries of genre. “How many pages could one’s life produce if you weren’t a head of state or a general?” Cassandra wonders. The answer, in Laura Lippman’s case, is “not enough.” - New York Observer Readers buckle in with high anticipation as each of best-selling Lippman’s mysteries featuring the Baltimore private eye Tess Monaghan appears. But this major-prize-winning crime writer has also crafted stand-alone novels, including What the Dead Know (2007), and now reveals her great gift for whiplash short stories in this top-rate collection....In an intoxicating mix of Poe-like horror and the pleasingly bitter irony of Dorothy Parker, Lippman tells deliciously vicious, topsy-turvy tales of women taking revenge for the endless insults and injuries of sexist, selfish men, and, for good measure, of guys who rid themselves of manipulative women....Lippman is a class act and a potent storyteller in these elegant, furious, and blues-blasting dispatches from the endless war between the sexes. - Booklist “With the summer reading season coming to a close, don’t let I’D KNOW YOU ANYWHERE be the one that got away.” - St. Louis Post-Dispatch “I’d Know You Anywhere” ranks with her very best.” - Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers “I’d Know You Anywhere” continues Laura Lippman’s extraordinary run of stand-alone novels (alternating with her lighter books about private eye Tess Monaghan). From its unsettling opening to its breathtaking conclusion, “Anywhere” exemplifies Lippman’s strengths: compassion, intense prose and deep empathy for the snares of ambiguous emotions. - Seattle Times The alchemy of memory and fact, of guilt and surviving, and the relationship between predator and prey meld in the superior psychological thriller “I’d Know You Anywhere.”... Once again, Lippman
