Suspense Anthology Novel by 16 Bestselling Crime Writers
Like a Charm brings together New York Times bestselling authors including Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, Peter Robinson, Laura Lippman, and John Connolly in a unique collaborative suspense novel. This anthology features 16 interconnected stories, each centered around a single object—a charm bracelet that brings misfortune to everyone who possesses it.
Multi-Author Crime Fiction Collection
This collaborative novel spans centuries and continents, following the cursed charm bracelet from its creation in nineteenth-century Georgia through wartime Leeds, across Europe by steam train, into the violent backstreets of 1980s Scotland, present-day London, a Manhattan taxi, the Mojave Desert, and back to Georgia. Each of the 16 authors contributes a gripping chapter filled with murder, betrayal, and intrigue.
Featured Crime Writers
The anthology showcases the cream of US and UK crime fiction authors. Karin Slaughter, one of the world's most popular storytellers with over 40 million copies sold globally, leads this collection. Her work includes the Grant County and Will Trent series, along with bestsellers like Pretty Girls, The Good Daughter, and Pieces of Her. Joining her are acclaimed authors Lee Child, Peter Robinson, Laura Lippman, and John Connolly, among others.
Interconnected Mystery Stories
