Alex Morse is an FBI agent, whose life has recently been turned upside down. Her father was shot in an accident while he was working as a private investigator, her mother is dying of ovarian cancer, Alex is seriously injured in an accident that killed a co-worker, and most recently, her sister died unexpectedly of a stroke. On her deathbed, Alex's sister Grace, insists she was murdered and begs Alex to save her son from his father, Grace's husband. As Alex learns more, she is certain that a certain divorce lawyer is killing off wealthy client's spouses to save them money they would lose in a divorce. When Alex approaches Dr. Chris Shepherd and tells him that she has reason to believe that his wife is trying to have him killed, Shepherd finds it hard to believe the distraught FBI agent. He is certain that her personal tragedies have impaired her ability to cope. Slowly, though, as more evidence comes to light, Shepherd realizes that Alex may be on to something and his life could be in danger.
This is the second Greg Iles book that I have read, and once again, I really enjoyed it. I did hate the part about the pathologist and his snakes. Snakes always creep me out but once again, the characters were complex but evoked sympathy. Iles books are long and in depth but it's worth hanging in to find out the conclusion. This one had me sitting in the garage listening for a few extra minutes because I was so hooked.
Rating - 5 stars
