Description
A rags-to-riches deal for single mother LuAnn Tyler is deadlier than she ever could have imagined in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.
THE DREAM
She is twenty, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever.
THE KILLER
It's an offer she dares to refuse...until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high-stakes, big-money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay...until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich.
THE WINNER
For if LuAnn Tyler comes home, she will be pitted against the deadliest contestant of all: the chameleon-like financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will...

5By wadenofStarted off slowly, but developed into a great story. Good job!Tip Top
5By Jellycat.One of the best reads for me since the Noah Gordon. The Physician.Boring. Slow and in general a poor read. Not much of a story and drags on with no substance
1By WLC/WLCVery slow and not a good readWINNER
5By cissibEven though I’ve read this book before, I still get a thrill. I read so much (50+ booked per year) I tend to forget them & therefore am able to enjoy them all over again. This is one of my best goto authors, so if you’re first time go slower at the end. ENJOY!solid

5By LB WhitneyWhen I picked up the novel The Winner, I wasn’t expecting it to be a David Baldacci best seller. I read the back cover and wasn’t immediately interested but it was the only book of his I could find at the time. But after reading it I absolutely love the story. I especially like his concept and the whole idea itself. It is a brilliantly written novel. I would recommend her to anyoneThe Winner
5By dafinvaGreat read as always. Love Baldacci booksGood shut in read.
4By The Wild FiendWell written, suspenseful and a great read even if a bit predictable.Good no, great title
5By nameless blondeI loved this story…the stress I felt made it even more of a page turner. The baddie was one of the most intriguing. Such a fearful character makes me worry about that crafty Balducci mind…geez who can think up this stuff!Plugging in my night light and setting the house alarm…but… probably won’t help settle my nerves. Thanks for the crafty, fun read.Interesting book but has some errors.
3By Bob KtownThis book contains one glaring continuity error and several smaller errors that don’t agree with the time in which the book is set or with what is being described. For a Baldacci book, this is disappointing.Read it straight through!
5By friend of evaLoved it !! Started it Saturday and finished it Sunday. Even had me in tears at moments towards the end of the journey. Always enjoy his books!!Brilliant story

5By Sliz78The Winner is a great book by Baldacci that kept the suspense up until the very end. I couldn't read the pages fast enough.
