In Edgar Award-winning author Meg Gardiner's new stand-alone thriller, an injured cop and an ex-thief hunt down a killer nobody else believes exists.

When shots ring out in a crowded Los Angeles club, bartender Harper Flynn watches helplessly as her boyfriend, Drew, is gunned down in the crossfire. Then somebody throws a Molotov cocktail, and the club is quickly engulfed in flames. LA Sheriff Deputy Aiden Garrison sees a gunman in a hoodie and gas mask taking aim at Harper, but before he can help her a wall collapses, bringing the building down and badly injuring him.

A year later, Harper is trying to rebuild her life. She has quit her job and gone back to college. Meanwhile, the investigation into the shoot-out has been closed. The two gunmen were killed when the building collapsed.

Certain that a third gunman escaped and is targeting the survivors, Harper enlists the help of Aiden Garrison, the only person willing to listen. But the traumatic brain injury he suffered has cut his career short and left him with Fregoli syndrome, a rare type of face blindness that causes the delusion that random people are actually a single person changing disguises.

As Harper and Aiden delve into the case, Harper realizes that her presence during the attack was no coincidence - and that her only ally is unstable, mistrustful of her, and seeing the same enemy everywhere he looks.

I liked the different story lines and getting to know the characters involved. Things were sort of interwoven and branched. The ending did bring things together.

Complex story

A bit amateurish as far as dialogue and plot. Some good action seems though. The narrator is a bit choppy but not that bad. Still a good attempt at a complex concept. it's great reading this compared to Gardiner's recent works, she's developed so much into an excellent author.

Not her best but it's an earlier one

I don’t usually leave comments. Too busy listening. But this was great. Lots of suspense, great characters and great narration.

What did you like best about Phantom Instinct? What did you like least?

The narrator was terrible, ruined what could be a good book

What didn’t you like about Angela Brazil’s performance?

She was very inconsistent in her reading, she went back and forth reading fast and slow. It was very distracting and ruined the flow of the book.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

maybe

Terible narrator
