Product Description

Product Description

Bestselling author Nancy Pickard 'continues along with Sara Paretsky and Sue Grafton - to deliver the best' (Houston Chronicle) with a chilling new mystery featuring the intrepid Marie Lightfoot. With the bestseller THE WHOLE TRUTH, Nancy Pickard introduced gutsy, charismatic Marie Lightfoot and kicked off a thrilling new series with 'an intriguing story, faxcinatingly told' (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Now, Pickard once again 'pushes the presumed limits of crime fiction' (Los Angeles Times) as she sends her emotionally complex heroine into the darkest realm of human nature. Sex, violence, evil and betrayal: the shocking murder case splashed across the Florida headlines has it all, making it the perfect candidate for true-crime writer Marie Lightfoot's next bestseller. But beyond the lurid tale of a love affair gone fatally wrong, there are disturbing twists that leave Marie sensing in her gut that something doesn't jibe. Twist number one: the killer is a man of the cloth who murders his wife in collusion with his lover. Twist number two: the minister is convicted though his lover walks free. But it is the final blow that truly gives Marie pause: for the first time in her illustrious career, she fails to win the killer's confidence during a jailhouse interview. When a dark revelation emerges, Marie is forced to confront her own shortcomings as she learns a bone-chilling lesson: to err is human, but to underestimate the criminal mind could be deadly.

About the Author

Her next novel featuring Marie Lightfoot is forthcoming in hardcover from Pocket Books. A former reporter and editor, she is a past president of Sisters in Crime. She splits her time between Kansas and Florida.

5.0 out of 5 stars A page turner, 1 Oct 2003
By Valerie Adolph "Garden Godwottery" (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Ring of Truth (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a tightly written book that overtly pits good against evil, and until the very end the reader does not know which is which. The characters and dialogue are so sharply observed and clearly limned that they no longer seem like characters and dialogue, but part of your world. The setting is Florida. I've never been there, but now I know the feeling of the place.
The story starts with the death of a minister's wife. He is a charismatic, widely respected man of high moral principles, but he may have been cheating with a beautiful woman, a member of his congregation. The plot has depth and many unexpected twists and the sleuth is a woman that most women will be able to identify with. The writer uses viewpoint in an original way (or variety of ways) and this makes the tale more immediate and dramatic.

I loved this book as a good story well told, but I was even more impressed with the way the writer adressed the moral dilemmas surrounding the issue of capital punishment. No preaching. No moralizing. Enjoy the story and draw your own conclusions.
