    <![CDATA[One singularly unlucky charm bracelet and a cross-section of the most critically acclaimed and award-winning practitioners of the new noir combine to present an explosive and dazzlingly inventive suspense novel. Like a Charm presents 16 interconnected stories that chart the journey of the charm from nineteenth-century Georgia, where the bracelet is forged in fire, to wartime Leeds, a steam train across Europe, the violent backstreets of 1980s Scotland, present-day London, a Manhattan taxi, the Mojave desert and back to Georgia, each writer weaving a gripping story of murder, betrayal and intrigue. The incredible array of contributors includes Lee Child, Val McDermid, Laura Lippman, and Peter Robinson.<br/>]]>

An obsession with numbers precipitates a deadly revenge ... Ambition leads to a curious exchange ... An uncanny likeness changes two lives forever ... The hand of fate lies buried in the past ...<br/><br/>An unforgettable novel in sixteen parts by some of the most prestigious crime writers working today.<br/><br/>One bracelet, sixteen charms ...<br/><br/>From nineteenth-century Georgia, where the bracelet is forged in fire, to wartime Leeds, the seedy underside of London's Soho, a Manhattan cab, the frozen cliffs of Nova Scotia, and back to Georgia, each story takes the reader on a gripping journey of murder, betrayal, and intrigue.]]>
