The Witness by Nora Roberts

Overview:w

Daughter of a controlling mother, Elizabeth finally let loose one night,
drinking at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian
accent lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that
followed changed her life forever.

Twelve years later, the woman known as Abigail Lowery lives on the
outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she
designs sophisticated security systems—and supplements her own
security with a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to
herself, saying little, revealing nothing. But Abigail’s reserve only
intrigues police chief Brooks Gleason. Her logical mind, her secretive
nature, and her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but
frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something—
and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed.

With a quirky, unforgettable heroine and a pulse-pounding plotline, Nora Roberts presents a riveting
new read that cements her place as today’s most reliably entertaining thriller author—and will leave
people hungering for more.
