Haven't read this book in about fourteen years, and it was such a fluff easy read, even back then. A bit ridiculous and outside my usual reading comfort zone, but entertaining nonetheless. ( )

Well written, fast paced, kept up the tension. ( )

Intriguing mystery based on a premise I could see happening - someone has fixed the lottery. Loved the characters, especially LuAnn and Charlie. Many authors don't put as much work into characterization as the do plot, but Baldacci did in this case. ( )

Jackson studied the shopping mall's long corridor, noting haggard mothers piloting loaded strollers and the senior citizens group walking the mall both for exercise and conversation.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446606324, Mass Market Paperback)

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 chameleonlike financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will...
