A Twist of the Knife

Readers first met seasoned but refreshingly plucky Brigid Quinn in Rage Against the Dying. She was then recently retired from the FBI and beginning a life with her new husband, Carlo, in Tucson, AZ. In this third outing, Brigid is called to her father's bedside in Florida, giving her the opportunity to work with former colleague Laura Coleman on a death row case. In the wake of a newly enacted Florida law that has cleared the way for Marcus Creighton's impending execution, Brigid and Laura must quickly find alternate explanations for the evidence that originally convicted him for the murder of his wife and three children nearly two decades earlier. The intrinsic intricacies of the case coupled with the rising emotional tension stemming from Brigid's family crisis, including the revelation of a long-held secret, will compel both new readers and old fans to cheer Brigid on despite the sadly obvious absence of Carlo in this installment.
