In her novels
featuring California probation officer Carolyn
Sullivan,
New York Times
best selling author Nancy Taylor Rosenberg
brilliantly fuses gripping plotlines with a
razor-sharp portrayal of a single woman in a world
of shattered lives, hard-core criminals and
flickering hopes. In her new novel, Carolyn
confronts the brutal death of her best friend -
and the dark mystery that surrounds it.
Carolyn knew
everything about Veronica Campbell. She
knew about the case of murder and retribution
that haunted her life and career. About
her stormy relationship with her husband, Drew.
About the emotional darkness that was
overwhelming Veronica's fragile
seventeen-year-old daughter, Jude. But
seeing her friend laid out on a cold hard slab
of steel in a morgue, and hearing the initial
judgments of the investigators, Carolyn also
knows this: there's no way Veronica would have
ever taken her own life. And when Carolyn
receives a note threatening her away from the
case, she knows a killer is at large.
Carolyn must
separate lies from truths in a world of complex
relationships and battered psyches. As a
hidden side of Veronica's life emerges,
including the stunning possibility that Veronica
had taken a lover, Carolyn becomes increasingly
involved with Veronica's daughter, who claims
her father has been abusing her for years.
Trusting a person she doesn't truly know,
putting her own upcoming marriage with wealthy,
charming Marcus Wright in jeopardy, Carolyn
investigates the brutal murder of another young
woman. With danger and deceit swirling all
around her, Carolyn is determined to lure her
prime suspect out of the shadows. But all
the while a killer is coming straight at her...
Relentlessly paced
with revealing insights into the criminal
justice system. Revenge of Innocents
showcases Nancy Taylor Rosenberg at the height
of her riveting story-telling talent.
