Desire leaves a man destroyed ... A young girl's curiosity reveals secrets better left hidden ... An accidental encounter on a train ends violently ... Ambition leads to a curious exchange ... An uncanny likeness changes two lives forever ... Here is a novel in sixteen chilling parts, linked by a glittering charm bracelet that brings misfortune to everyone who handles it. In Like a Charm, the best of British and American crime writers combine for a must-have collection. From nineteenth-century Georgia, where the bracelet is forged in fire, to wartime Leeds, a steam train across Europe, the violent backstreets of 1980s Scotland, present-day London, a Manhattan taxi, the Mojave Desert, and back to Georgia, each writer weaves a gripping story of murder, betrayal, and intrigue.

Like a series of eerie stories told in the dead of night, Susan Erickson reads this tale of an ill-fated bracelet (with 16 unique charms) traveling through time and space, bringing misery and death to each life it touches. In a voice unique to each chapter, Erickson presents these 16 interconnected, yet stand-alone, stories with versatility. Erickson's well-timed presentation of odd characters, titillating content, obsession, and insanity animates the diverse chapters into a taut and coordinated thriller. This unforgettable novel is written in 16 parts by prestigious mystery writers from America and England, including Lee Child, Denise Mina, and Lynda La Plante. K.A.T.
