USA TODAY BESTSELLER. In this adrenaline-laced novel of suspense from Tom Savage – hailed by Michael Connelly as "a master of the high-speed thriller" – an American actress in Europe races to find the truth behind her husband's mysterious accident. What she uncovers makes her the target of a shocking conspiracy.
Nora Baron's life is perfect. She lives on Long Island Sound, teaches acting at a local university, and has a loving family. Then one phone call changes everything. She's informed that her husband, Jeff, has died in a car crash while on a business trip in England. Nora flies to London to identify the body, which the police have listed as a "John Doe." When she leaves the morgue, a man tries to steal her purse containing Jeff's personal effects. Clearly, all is not as it seems.
At her hotel, Nora receives a cryptic message that leaves her with more questions than answers. She follows the message's instructions to France, where a fatal encounter transforms her into a fugitive. Wanted for murder, on the run in a shadowy landscape of lies, secrets, and sudden violence, Mrs. "John Doe" must play the role of a lifetime to stay one step ahead of a ruthless enemy with deadly plans for her – and for the world.
Praise for Mrs. John Doe
"This is a rare spy thriller, smart, beautifully written, and stay-up-all-night enjoyable!" – Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins
"It isn't easy to blindside a fellow suspense author, but Tom Savage manages to fool me every time. A clever, compelling, and cinematic page-turner in which nothing is as it seems, Mrs. John Doe opens with a twist I didn't see coming and closes with a satisfying bang. This longtime Savage fan ranks Mrs. John Doe right up there with Precipice." – Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times bestselling author of The Black Widow
"Tom Savage's Mrs. John Doe races a fictional path somewhere between Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie, a modern heroine-on-the-run spy thriller dealing with some of our time's deadliest challenges." – James Grady, New York Times bestselling author of Last Days of the Condor
"Savage twists the plot in two startling ways, and Nora's transformation from wealthy home-focused wife to clever investigator holds up brilliantly… I enjoyed each page, gasped at the swift twists, and came away with a hunger for more of the same, whether it be thrills, France, or books by Tom Savage." – Kingdom Books
"If you like books that make your pulse pound, where the images conjured up by your mind while reading are better than the best 'action' movie, Mrs. John Doe should be on your shelf." – Back Porchervations
"Cloak-and-dagger suspense, dark, shadowy figures, secret agents, and a diabolical terrorist plot that must be thwarted combine to create… a shocking, heart-pounding, unrelenting thrill ride." – The Book Reviews
Praise for Tom Savage
"Savage knows the mystery novel inside and out, and it shows on every page." – James Patterson
"A master of the high-speed thriller." – Michael Connelly
"A very gifted writer who creates living, breathing characters, wonderful dialogue, and mesmerizing tension." – Nelson DeMille
"Savage writes with fierce energy, piercing holes in the shredding fabric of our society, where no one is safe, no one is free from harm." – Lorenzo Carcaterra

Acknowledgments

This is a work of fiction, and I have used actual places and organizations fictitiously. I’ve also invented places, including the village of Pinède with its busy churchyard, the unnamed seaside village with the Lucky Dolphin pub, the airfield on the North Sea, and the country house in Norfolk. I never name Bill Howard’s organization or that of my terrorists, but they’re fictitious too. London, Paris, Besançon, and Sedgeford are real, however, and I hope I’ve done them justice. I would like to thank Gary Stronge, the parks engagement officer for the London Borough of Camden, for answering questions and helping me with details about the beautiful Russell Square Gardens where two crucial scenes take place.

I’m truly indebted to my wonderful editor, Dana Isaacson, and everyone at Penguin Random House/Alibi who whipped this novel into shape and sent it out into the world. I particularly thank my copyeditor, Dianna Stirpe, for correcting a multitude of sins and suggesting a multitude of improvements.

My agent, Robin Rue, and her colleague at Writers House, Beth Miller, continue to amaze me with their support. I’m grateful for the folks in the Writers House eBook department, especially Julie Trelstad and Bakara Wintner.

My webmaster, Beth Tindall of Cincinnati Media, continues to keep me up and running on the Interwebs.

My love to my sister, Marcia McDevitt, and the rest of my family. My thanks to my writing group, Betsy Harding and S. J. Rozan. And, as always, the Friday Night Club: Sharon Bogart, Tina (“T”) Meyerhoff, Kathy Pontillo, Larry Pontillo, S. J. Rozan (again!), and the “floating” Friday Nighters-John Douglas, Andrea Knutson, Skip Richards, and Ann Romeo.

The Friday Night Club will never be the same without our dear friend and host, the late Jennifer Jaffee, and this novel is dedicated to her memory. We miss you, Jen.
