From award-winning author Meg Gardiner, co-author of Michael Mann’s Heat 2--When a controversial female singer is murdered during a concert, forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett fears the act was political.

The polarizing pop star was also the President's ex-wife, with secrets to die for. Now, Jo finds herself in a race to extinguish the conspiracy rumor mill-before it incites a level of violence that reaches America's highest corridors of power.
"Breathless suspense, slick plotting and a cast of compelling characters make this a solid addition to Edgar-winner Gardiner's dossier of superlative thrillers."
-Booklist, Starred Review

"If you read Sue Grafton, Lee Child, Janet Evanovich, Michael Connelly, or Nelson DeMille, you're going to think Meg Gardiner is a gift from heaven."
-Stephen King

"Hitchcockian scenes of suspense will rock even the most jaded thriller reader."
-USA Today

"Stephen King was right. . . . Steeped in nonstop action, psychological terror and an evocative use of the San Francisco background, The Dirty Secrets Club brims with surprises and unpredictable twists."
-Orlando Sun-Sentinel

"Gardiner makes every one of her characters leap alive off the page, and I personally am in love with the most compelling of them all, Jo Beckett."
-Jeffery Deaver

"A book you just can't put down. The Memory Collector is a first-class thriller with nonstop action."
-Chicago Sun-Times

"Gardiner has created a tough, intelligent heroine who is as comfortable kicking butt and bad guys in the alleys of San Francisco as she is in a medical lab examining carbon nanotechnology and its effects on the brain."
-Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Gardiner makes every one of her characters leap alive off the page, and I personally am in love with the most compelling of them all, Jo Beckett."
-Jeffery Deaver

"[Meg Gardiner is] the next suspense superstar."
-Stephen King
