PRESUMPTION OF DEATH by Perri O'Shaughnessy - DOUBLE SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Perri O'Shaughnessy.New York Times bestselling author Perri O’Shaughnessy has
garnered impressive acclaim for her tough, passionate thrillers set
against the lush Lake Tahoe landscape and the world of one remarkable
character: Attorney Nina Reilly. In this spellbinding new novel,
O’Shaughnessy delves deeper into the heart and psyche of her popular
heroine as Nina journeys back to her hometown to heal old wounds, and
instead discovers that old secrets can be the deadliest kind....
Nina
Reilly needs a fresh start. In three years, she’s taken on some of Lake
Tahoe’s most controversial cases and has turned her struggling
one-woman law firm into a thriving practice. Now she’s ready to sort
out her complex relationship with her boyfriend, Monterey P.I. Paul van
Wagoner. So she’s heading to the Carmel Valley, the place where she
began her career and where her estranged father lives. It’s also a
place of dramatic contradictions and hidden tensions, of new wealth and
old families. And, within days of her arrival, Nina is already feeling
the heat, as a case of arson exposes some of the darkest secrets of her
hometown.
Two suspicious fires have already raged through the
valley this summer, igniting suspicions of arson. When a third blaze
ends in a fatality, police zero in on a suspect: Wish, the son of Sandy
Whitefeather, Nina’s ex-assistant. The dead man is identified as Wish’s
childhood friend, a troubled local auto mechanic who hated the changes
wealthy newcomers had brought to the valley. Nina and Paul are certain
that there is more to this strange case than meets the eye. As they
work together to clear Wish, new, morefrightening questions are raised,
and another fire is set. And out of the flames a terrifying picture
emerges: a community steeped in secrets and rage, a tangled history
between two men, and a killer whose motives are dark and wrenching.
With
the relentless page-turning suspense that has become her trademark,
Perri O’Shaughnessy once again demonstrates her talent to enthrall. A
haunting tale of crime and punishment, old grudges and second chances, Presumption of Death is suspense fiction at its finest—instantly compelling and utterly impossible to put down.
