Peter Leonard’s standalone novels cover a range of crime scenarios, but they share a common thread: regular people who find themselves in over their heads. Quiver, his 2008 debut, begins with a hunting accident and builds into a thriller about deception and revenge. Trust Me follows a con artist whose latest scam goes badly wrong, while All He Saw Was The Girl takes an American photographer into dangerous territory in the south of France.
Leonard writes lean, propulsive fiction that favors action and dialogue over lengthy description. His standalones are designed to be read quickly, with plot twists that keep pages turning. Unknown Remains and Sweet Dreams continue in this vein, each offering a self-contained crime story with its own cast of desperate characters and bad decisions.
