About the Author:

It is the first of eight novels featuring clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin, who faces his own increasing battle with a potentially debilitating disease.

Review:
"I love this guy's books. Try Life or Death and you'll see why."―Lee Child
"Life or Death is a nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldn't stop reading, yet I didn't want Audie's story to end. Robotham is an absolute master."―Stephen King
"It has one of the great plots of the year...constantly unfolding and fabulously revelatory. It reads so smoothly it will make you forget about any turbulence you may encounter while aloft or about the traffic outside your minivan in the carpool lane. This is a great chase novel. We should celebrate it."―Alan Cheuse, The Dallas Morning News
"A pitch perfect plot with a stunning twist that involves a sheep in wolf's clothing. Talk about topsy turvy --- but it works --- big time."―Steve Berry, author of The Lincoln Myth and The Jefferson Key
"Robotham creates fascinating characters and gives them wonderful dialogue."―Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Robotham has a talent for creating fascinating and complex characters, and Audie Palmer may be his best yet."―Booklist (starred review)
[A] prison-break tale with a twist . . . The writing is top-notch . . . Plenty of edge-of-the-seat excitement, forcing readers to frantically turn the pages to find out how all these different strands intersect. Robotham's skill as a writer remains undeniable: He offers memorable characters caught up in an irresistible story."―Kirkus Reviews
"Michael Robotham is the real deal."―David Baldacci
"Robotham is a first-class storyteller."―Associated Press
