The Beautiful Risk
An intelligent, provocative standalone thriller from internationally bestselling author Lynn Hightower
“Gripping, suspenseful read” —Booklist
“Dark and swiftly moving, both a thriller and an examination of how deep a connection can be.” —Kirkus Reviews
The Beautiful Risk is a story of the collateral damage of grief, the adrenaline of revenge; it’s the story of corruption and greed, of ecoterrorism. Above all, it is a romantic thriller, a love story, a tale of courage and of mending a broken heart.
It’s the story of a woman who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.
Because when you don’t care if you live or die . . . you are always the most dangerous person in the room.
