Upon hearing that the man who murdered her sister is being granted an early release from prison, a young journalist returns to her hometown to uncover the truth. But the search for answers leads only to more questions as she stumbles onto a political scandal involving adultery and blackmail--including evidence that her sister's killer has murdered more than once. And now that he's on parole, her life is in considerable danger. . .
Jan Maxwell reads Clark's first-person narration in an easy, authoritative style, building drama and tension appropriately. Investigative reporter Ellie Cavanaugh was 7 when her 15-year-old sister was murdered and her family destroyed. Totally convinced of rich sociopath Rob Westerfield's guilt, Ellie is researching a book on Rob's life to prove it conclusively. While exploring the criminal mind, Ellie also learns more about her family. Maxwell depicts Ellie as self-confident and assertive, using compelling, rapid speech patterns to emphasize horrifying discoveries in Rob's past and Ellie's fear as her life is repeatedly threatened. Maxwell and Clark work well together, producing a nail-biting page-turner.
