Triple Homicide
I couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring together my greatest detectives in three shocking thrillers. Alex Cross receives an anonymous call from someone threatening to set off deadly bombs in Washington, DC, and he has to discover whether it’s a cruel hoax or the real deal. But will he find the truth too late? And then in possibly my most twisted Women’s Murder Club mystery yet, Detective Lindsay Boxer investigates a dead lover and a wounded millionaire who was left for dead. Finally, I make things personal for Michael Bennett as someone attacks the Thanksgiving Day Parade directly in front of him and his family. Can he solve the mystery of the “holiday terror”?
The Family Lawyer
The Family Lawyer combines three of my most pulse-pounding novels in one book. There’s Matthew Hovanes, who’s living a parent’s worst nightmare when his daughter is accused of bullying another girl into suicide. I test all his attorney experience as he tries to clear his daughter’s name and reveal the truth. Then there’s Cheryl Mabern of the NYPD, who is one of my most brilliant detectives. But does that brilliance help her when there’s a calculating killer committing random murders? And finally, Dani Lawrence struggles with deciding whether to aid in an investigation that could put away her sister for the murder of her cheating husband. Or should she obstruct the investigation by any means necessary?
