Opis

From the courtroom to the bedrooms in Atlanta, one fateful day in October finds the lives of lawyers, cops, and criminals intersecting in ways unforeseen. Some of those lives will be cut violently short. Intersection of Lies, the latest fast-paced thriller from author Tonya Sharp Hyche, weaves a complex web of greed, corruption, and romance that is certain to enthrall anyone who likes their murder mysteries to keep them guessing until the final pages through brilliant twists, love triangles, and the sharpest minds in one southern city. At age twenty-nine, the gorgeous, blonde city prosecutor Lilee Parker is not one to rest on her looks or her laurels. Having triumphed in some of the city's toughest cases, her eyes are always trained on the prize, which leaves her little time for romance or the like. In fact, she's recently been dumped and is now living solo in her well-appointed home in a neighborhood that's more country estate than average suburb. All seems to be well and good, until she experiences a particularly discomfiting Friday-her court case against Ronny Jordan, a thug accused of the burglary and battery of Kelley Wells, hits the skids. On the same evening, detective Forest Styles and his partner Trevor have their own disturbance to deal with over at the Hart estate. In what appears to be a revenge plot, the local physician, William Hart, is stabbed to death in his home, leaving behind his severely wounded wife, Christa, and their twin sons, Timothy and Todd, who both return from their medical course at Auburn after the murder. When Christa's business partner and best friend, Andrea, discovers the grisly scene, the plot thickens all the more, as her husband has been otherwise involved with a nurse, Marla Kay Abbott. And that's only the beginning of the many entanglements that must be made sense of before the murders are solved. It's up to Forest to sort through the aftermath of the crimes and halt the accumulating body count, in addition to protecting Lilee from threats clearly intended for her. Along the way, the two might just intersect in a little romance, if either can keep their mind off the case. With an intricate storyline, diverse characters, and a page-turning velocity that keeps the action coming, Intersection of Lies will keep you riveted and utterly surprised when it's finally revealed just who is the very intersection of all the murder and mayhem.
