Product Description
Product Description
Gabriel and Ingrid Santerre are a wealthy, highly connected couple with a savage kink: In the privacy of a posh New York City hotel suite, they like to subject teenage prostitutes to extremely rough sex. This time, though, they've gone too far, and their victim is dead. As Gabriel goes out to buy a golf bag to hide the body in, Ingrid, strangely passive and long brutalized by her husband, suddenly feels remorse and calls the police. The two are swiftly taken into custody and separated; Gabriel calls in his high-powered lawyer and calmly schemes to frame his wife.
But NYPD detective Caroline Reese won't let him get away with it. Despite Gabriel's connections--reaching right into the district attorney's office--and a warning from her lieutenant that she's proceeding at her own risk, Reese finds the one woman who can lead her to the truth. Reese's quest is blocked not only by Gabriel's pull, but by a violent episode in her own past--one that has left her with a blind spot that keeps her from seeing the whole picture about Gabriel and his wife.
Bringing an exciting new voice to the noir thriller, Heather Lewis coolly and masterfully builds the tension until the novel's shattering--and deeply satisfying--payoff.

CAN'T PUT THE BOOK DOWN!
23 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
The Second Suspect is a well written book. The choice of wording by Ms. Lewis was extra-ordinary. It was really good. Her characters are wonderfully created with great personalities. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a good investigation.

Format:Hardcover
The Second Suspect is a quick read about a wealthy businessman, a young prostitute, and a detective, each attempting to hide secrets and outsmart each other. The book is a combination who really dunit and will they get away with it.

A Quick Read
8 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
Gabriel Santerre, a sadistic man of wealth and Ingrid, his down-trodden wife, harbor a terrible secret. Carver, the Santerre's young surrogate daughter, is both a victim and a cunning player in the Santerre's high stakes game. Recently promoted Caroline Reese, is a guilt-ridden detective whose friend Eleanor may know more than she reveals and whose partner Miller may not be completely trustworthy. These are the chief characters in Heather Lewis' noir thriller The Second Suspect, a novel about drugs, kinky sex, and murder. The Second Suspect is a quick read whose ending may be satisfying but not completely surprising.
