Kill and Tell

From Linda Howard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Open Season and Shades of Twilight, comes a "riveting masterpiece of suspense" (Iris Johansen, New York Times bestselling author) about a woman trapped in the crosshairs of danger and the detective who will stop at nothing to protect her. Still reeling from her mother´s death, Karen Whitlaw is stunned when she receives a package containing a cryptic notebook from her estranged father, who she hasn´t seen in decades. As she tries to make sense of this strange delivery, Karen gets a shocking phone call: her father has been murdered on the gritty streets of New Orleans. For homicide detective Marc Chastain, something about the case of a murdered homeless man just doesn´t add up--especially after he meets the victim´s daughter. Far from the cold woman he expected, Karen Whitlaw is warm and passionate. She is also in serious danger. A string of mysterious accidents shakes Karen to her core and forces her into the protective embrace of the charming detective she vowed to resist. Together they must unravel a disturbing web of politics, power, and murder--and face a killer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on her father´s secrets. With her signature thrilling prose and high-voltage passion, Linda Howard "meshes hot sex, emotional impact, and gripping tension in this perfect example of what romantic suspense ought to be" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
