Good guy or bad guy? Victim or villain? "The Escape Artist," a new thriller by bestselling author Brad Meltzer, will keep you guessing throughout the book! Nola Brown, Army artist-in-residence, is dead. Or is she? Her body was found after a plane mysteriously fell from the sky after leaving a secret military base in Alaska. Her commanding officer verifies it is her body. The US government confirms it. But Jim "Zig" Zigarowski has found out that Nola is still alive and on the run.
While working as a mortician at Dover Air Force Base, Zig helps to put to rest the bodies of those who die on top-secret missions. When the body purported to be Nola's arrives at the base, Zig realizes he knows her because she had saved the life of his daughter years before. But when the body arrives, Zig quickly realizes that it is not Nola's body. Who is the woman in the casket, and where is Nola?
As Zig delves into the mystery, he quickly realizes that others on the flight are also not whom they appear to be. Searching for the truth will put a target on his back. It will also lead him to a covert government operation with ties to none other than escape artist Harry Houdini. With Nola on the run, Zig must decide whether she is a victim or a villain. The violence she commits is sometimes intense, but is it in the service of truth and freedom? Just who is Nola Brown?
