Summary:

The world's greatest thriller writers prove they're up to a unique challenge in this action-packed collection. It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising, and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home. Contributors include: Tess Gerritsen, C.J. Box, Kathy Reichs, Ace Atkins, Heather Graham, S.A. Cosby, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Robert Dugoni, Allison Brennan, Gregg Hurwitz, [and] Kelley Armstrong. Commissioned by International Thriller Writers, Birds of Prey is a highly bingeable anthology that's a treat for thriller fans.
