PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY LOVES
MAGGIE SHAYNE'S NEWEST TITLE: THICKER THAN WATER
In the September 29th issue of
Publisher's Weekly, they positively rave!
"Suspense thrums throughout due to
Shayne's seemingly effortless skill at teasing readers with surprising
but believable plot turns. Just as suspenseful--in a different,
delicious way--is the snappy sparring between the reluctantly paired
co-anchors; romantic sparks fly between them as fast as witty insults,
making this a tasty, tension-packed read."
It was called a haven for runaway teens. In truth, it
was a nightmare, one that ended in fiery violence
sixteen years ago. Or so its survivors believed…
Syracuse news anchor Julie
Jones is afraid. Her long-dead past was resurrected when
a blackmailer threatened to expose secrets that could
destroy her. Then the man was found dead — his throat
cut with a knife from Julie's own kitchen. Now a new,
faceless enemy wants more than money. This time Julie
stands to lose the most precious thing of all — her
teenage daughter, Dawn.
Julie finds herself with
one unlikely ally, Sean MacKenzie. A journalist with a
flair for the sensational, Sean covers the worst
humanity has to offer. Julie Jones is hiding something
that terrifies her, and he's determined to find out
what. He just can't decide whether his goal is to expose
her or save her.
Julie will do anything to
protect her daughter. But someone else is watching,
willing to do whatever it takes to avenge a past that
cannot be forgotten.
