Description
FBI Profiler Pierce Quincy and Officer Rainie Conner return in a baffling cold case in this short story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner.
A young woman is found strangled in the stairwell of a college library, only her sneakers missing. With no physical evidence, no signs of sexual assault, and no witnesses, all the police have to go on are the three men who were in the library with her: her boyfriend and two campus security guards...all of whom have secrets, none of whom can be proven guilty.
Five years later, ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his wife, former police officer Rainie Conner, agree to consult on the still-unsolved case, delving into deep background to comb for any clue that will lead to the woman's murderer. But with no leads and the case colder than the body, will they be able to build a case against one of the three suspects, or is there a fourth man out there? And if the killer has eluded the police this long, how far will he go to ensure justice is never served?
Includes an excerpt of Lisa Gardner’s bestselling thriller, Right Behind You.

Meh
2By joyseph420Meh wish I would have skipped it felt like a build up the ending in two pagesRainey and Pierce back in a novella
4By SPdubD.D. Warren working a ten year old cold case asks for Rainey and Pierce’s assist. This is one of those murders where whoever was in the library is the murderer. The end was a little odd and truthfully I thought a bit weak. Then Ms Gardner writes this was actually a true story. Weak now turns into yuck! Sometimes these books make it clear how odd some people are. Great to have the three together. I vote for a full length novel with these three.Expensive
1By GameplayddRidiculous to pay $10 for it! Definitely not worth it!Great book but overpriced
1By dp in gaGreat book but for only 60 pp should be discounted!Overpriced short story.

1By None of ur beeswax u fartLove her books, BUT I can’t believe I paid $9.99 for 68 pages! Waste Of Money!!! I won’t be making that mistake again!The 4th man.
2By tmethatsmeI went to buy the book yesterday only to find it’s only the first few pages. That stinks. I like how she writes but she can twist and turn it while you read. It ticks me off I wasted my money on 3 books all for nothing. Get it to get her Apple.A Lisa Gardner short novella!
4By Kris Anderson, The Avid ReaderThe 4th Man by Lisa Gardner is An FBI Profiler/Detective D.D. Warren Story. Sergeant Detective D.D. Warren is a Boston homicide detective working cold cases. Her latest case is the murder of Jaylin Banks that occurred at a local Boston college ten years ago. Jaylin had been found in one of the stairwells by a campus security guard. The police have no physical evidence of the killer and there was little violence involved. The only thing that was missing was Jaylin’s dirty white keds. Their only hope is getting a confession from one of their suspects. Warren has brought in the top three suspects to be questioned by profiling expert, Pierce Quincy and his wife, Officer Rainie Connor. If one of these three men did not commit the crime, then it is the unknown fourth man. Will they finally get justice for Jaylin Banks by identifying her killer? The 4th Man is well-written, has a good pace, and is very easy to read. I appreciate the characters and their method of interrogation and investigation. The 4th Man is a very (extremely) short story that can be finished in about 30 to 45 minutes (depending on how fast you read). The mystery is interesting (unique) and most people will be surprised the killer’s identity. I give The 4th Man 4 out of 5 stars. I wish the story had been just a little longer. I felt that the whole story was too rushed. A preview of Lisa Gardner’s next book is included (and it is very good).
