Summary
Summary
Desire leaves a man destroyed … A young girl's curiosity reveals secrets better left hidden … An accidental encounter on a train ends violently … Ambition leads to a curious exchange … An uncanny likeness changes two lives forever … Here is a novel in sixteen chilling parts, linked by a glittering charm bracelet that brings misfortune to everyone who handles it. In Like a Charm, the best of British and American crime writers combine for a must-have collection. 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 weaves a gripping story of murder, betrayal, and intrigue.
