Then, she learns the truth: that she was adopted when she was three years old, after her real parents were murdered. Caroline was wounded the night they were attacked, a gunshot to the neck. Surgeons had stitched her up with the bullet still there, nestled deep among vital nerves and blood vessels. Now, Caroline has to find the truth of her past. Why were her parents killed? Why is she still alive? She returns to her hometown, where she learns that the bullet in her neck is the same bullet that killed her mother. It hit Carolines mother and kept going, hurtling through the mothers chest and into the child hiding behind her. She is horrified--and in danger. The bullet in her neck could finger a murderer. A frantic race is set in motion: Can Caroline unravel the clues to her past before the killer tracks her down?

Review Praise for Anonymous Sources "Kellys years as a political writer and intelligence correspondent covering wars, terrorism and nuclear powers have served her well, and she portrays James with authority in a smart, fun voice that will stir lust and envy among readers. The author leaves open a window on the final page that suggests a sequel, much to the readers delight." Review Quote "With an extremely likable narrator and twists and turns galore, The Bullet is at once a thriller, a medical mystery, and a study of how well we really know the people we love." Excerpt from Book The Bullet One My name is Caroline Cashion, and I am the unlikely heroine of this story. Given all the violence to come, you were probably expecting someone different. A Lara Croft type. Young and gorgeous, sporting taut biceps and a thigh holster, right? Admit it. Yes, all right, fine, I am pretty enough. I have long, dark hair and liquid, chocolate eyes and hourglass hips. I see the way men stare. But theres no holster strapped to these thighs. For starters, I am thirty-seven years old. Not old, not yet, but old enough to know better. Then there is the matter of how I spend my days. That would be in the library, studying the work of dead white men. I am an academic, a professor on Georgetown Universitys Faculty of Languages and Linguistics. My specialty is nineteenth-century France: Balzac, Flaubert, Sten Details ISBN1476769834 Author Mary Louise Kelly Short Title BULLET Publisher Gallery Books Language English ISBN-10 1476769834 ISBN-13 9781476769837 Media Book Format Paperback Pages 384 Year 2015 Publication Date 2015-12-08 Imprint Gallery Books DEWEY FIC Audience General UK Release Date 2015-12-08 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
