The Bullet by Mary Louise Kelley. Mary Louise is a former NPR reporter and a friend of this book list and many of its contributors. And she definitely knows how to write a suspenseful thriller! Protagonist Caroline is 37 years old and having pain in her wrist. An MRI reveals a bullet lodged against her spine. WTF? She’s never been shot. Or so she thinks. Her parents reveal she was adopted and that her birth parents had been murdered. Caroline sets out to find out what happened. Needless to say, “events ensue.” “Light read but a page-turner, set in DC. Protagonist is a Georgetown Prof who grew up in Cleveland Park.”
