About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain comes “a tense thriller” (San Francisco) about a woman in desperate pursuit of the man who has stolen her identity.
“Boyle takes the reader on a wild ride. . . . No one writes better about the wages of American sin.”—The New York Times Book Review
There’s more than one way to take a life . . .
It was not until their first date that Bridger Martin learned that Dana Halter’s deafness was profound and permanent. By then he was falling in love. Now she is in a courtroom, accused of assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, and passing bad checks, among other things. As Dana and Bridger eventually learn, William “Peck” Wilson has stolen Dana’s identity and has been living a blameless life of criminal excess at her expense. And as they set out to find him, they began to test to its very limits the life they have begun to build together.
Both a suspenseful chase across America and a moving story about language, love, and identity, Talk Talk is a masterful, mind-bending novel from one of America’s most versatile and entertaining writers.
