Kurzbeschreibung

At the beginning of this compelling novel, Rick Corinth?driven careerist, brilliant prosecutor, and the heir apparent to the district attorney?s job in Manhattan?is assigned a case involving a series of increasingly sadistic rapes. When the victims, all prominent women at the acme of their careers, begin identifying Corinth as their assailant, he takes flight.

No one who knows him well believes him capable of committing such shocking crimes, including his ex-wife. His children, made to suffer at school, are hurt and confused. And yet the evidence against him keeps mounting. When his ex-wife is herself sexually attacked, she in turn pegs Corinth as the culprit.

Sharp and haunting, Hruska masterfully ratchets up the suspense in this deftly written novel, penning a taut legal thriller in the vein of Scott Turow and John Grisham.

MEN OF INTRIGUE: A TRILOGY

DEVIL'S DECEPTION has a mafia princess for a heroine and an FBI Bureau Chief for a hero, so the story gives new meaning to the notion of "opposites attract." Brett Devlin is a fed planted in the home of Angela Patria in the guise of her bodyguard to get the goods on her drug smuggling uncle. When Devlin finds himself instantly attracted to the lonely, withdrawn beauty who is Patria's innocent niece, his life becomes complicated very quickly. It is Devlin's job to be with Angela at all times since he is supposed to be protecting her, and this task makes it impossible for him to conceal his growing feelings for the woman he is deceiving on a daily basis. How this dilemma is resolved and the embattled couple wind up together makes for a satisfying read, and watching straight arrow Devlin unbend enough to fall for the gangster's ward is touching as well as amusing.

His destiny promises struggle. As the 13th century comes to a close, Scotland enjoys a tentative, fragile peace. Garric MacLachlan, a taciturn Highland warrior, fosters his reputation as an unfeeling brute to ward off those who would threaten his kin.

Her destiny promises pain. Abandoned on the day of her birth, Linette has been reared to serve her English master. She harbors a secret dream of a safe home but knows it is her fate to die at the hand of a stranger. Determined to meet her destiny with courage, she welcomes the Scottish chieftain into the small hovel she shares with her foster mother. Garric's vow to protect her weaves their futures together so tightly she must fight to keep him safe from sharing her dark fate.

Their shared destiny promises passion.
