A high-stakes suspense as timely as tomorrow’s headlines.
While home on break, a seventeen-year-old Senate page takes her dog out for a walk and never returns. The resulting media firestorm quickly ensnares television reporter Cassidy Shaw, Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, and FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges. Together, these life-long friends call themselves The Triple Threat—a nickname derived from their favorite dessert as well as their uncanny ability to crack cases from their three unique positions of power.
Together, they must find the one face of betrayal amidst a crowd of growing suspects—including a US Senator—before they become the next victims.
Lis Wiehl's expertise in law, politics, and criminal investigation merges with April Henry's narrative genius to create a gripping mystery filled with rich characters, real danger, and a shocking yet satisfying final twist.
“Only a brilliant lawyer, prosecutor, and journalist like Lis Wiehl could put together a mystery this thrilling! The incredible characters and nonstop twists will leave you mesmerized. Open it and find a comfortable seat because you won’t want to put it down!” —E. D. Hill, FOX News anchor
“Three smart women crack the big cases! Makes perfect sense to me. It blew me away!” —Jeanine Pirro, former DA; host of the CW’s daytime court television reality show Judge Jeanine Pirro

"I really enjoyed this book. At first the cover looked a little scary, but I'm so glad I tried it. Lis Wiehl really made "The Triple Threat" characters come across as real people and I felt like I was right there. A very compelling storyline, filled with many twists and turns. I can't wait to find the second book in this series."
— Ginger (4 out of 5 stars)
" Great mystery. Kept me turing the pages. "
— Karen, 2/17/2014" Quick Read-great mystery. "
— Dawn, 2/1/2014" It took half the book to get into the story, but it went well after that. "
— Robertroofer, 1/28/2014" It was a good mystery, but not great. Character development was actually better than the story. I have the feeling this series will improve as it progresses. "
— Saved.one.by.grace, 1/26/2014" I enjoyed this book. This sounds kind of silly - but I kept thinking about the person who wrote the book with Lis and I kept wondering why she got so little credit for her contribution to the book. The thing I enjoyed is learning about the ins and outs of being a reporter and judge and defense attorney. "
— Lynda, 1/21/2014" This was an ok read. The first half mainly sets up the story premise and characters as they sit around dinner tables, then the second half was was more like a mystery/thriller should be. The authors describe everything as if the reader is learning about them for the first time, which became annoying. And one thread in the storyline turned out to have nothing to do with the main plot. However, it was an interesting glimpse into the lives of a prosecutor, an FBI agent, and a reporter, and if you don't mind a strong influence of women's fiction you'll probably like this book. "
— Brandon, 12/31/2013" The first fiction book by Wiehl [from Fox News Network:]. It's a quick read with a good plot. Reminds me a lot of Patterson's women's murder club group. If you like those you will like this one! "
— Kay, 12/30/2013" I only read this book because it was on the O'Reilly good books to read list. I did not think it was an excellent read and do not intend to read the others by this author. "
— Faye, 11/30/2013" Easy read. It wasn't a real page turner but not too boring. "
— Fourborne, 10/15/2013" A good first book. Fast paced and thoroughly engrossing. "
— Dom, 9/30/2013" This was a good book. It read well & was easy to believe. I like the Triple Threat Club combo. Its a good mix of friends that is a great dynamic to the story. "
— Michele, 7/6/2013" She writes similar to James Patterson's "Murder Mystery Club" series. I will definitely read the next one! "
— Sharon, 4/12/2013" Not a terribly complicated plot but good airplane read. "
— Babs, 3/13/2013" kindle freebie, okay, some Christian fiction overtones "
— Cynthia, 2/25/2013" I found this book terribly predictable. I was expecting a page turner that I couldn't put down at night and found that I ended up feeling let down. "
— Miriam, 10/29/2012" It was a little dated, but an enjoyable read. Will definitely give the rest of the series a try. "
— James, 6/15/2012" I really didn't care that much for this book. The general story was ok and kind of interesting, but they introduce characters and make a big deal about something, then just drop it and you never hear about it again. I wouldn't recommend this book. "
— Amanda, 6/7/2012" I love Lis on Fox. She gives us an inside view of the police, prosecutors and the system. Read like an LMN movie. "
— Luckngrace, 6/5/2012" This was a pretty good read - I enjoyed it! "
— Michael, 2/16/2012" Not a dull moment. Lots of action keeps you on your toes. "
— Connie, 2/11/2012" A little too graphic for me. "
— Cara, 12/28/2011" Love the perspective from a womans point of view. Great story line and the unexpected happenings keep one guessing. "
— Bob, 12/8/2011" Excellent; Continuing characters: Shaw, Pierce, and Hedge (first in series); reporter, prosecutor and FBI agent (who are all friends) each have a role in the case of a 17 year old missing girl, who is on break from her role as a Senate page "
— Joe, 11/5/2011" Glad it was a Kindle freebie. "
— Anna, 5/19/2011" Ok. There wasn't much description of the surroundings, where the story took place. It is hard to get the feeling for the events without it. <br/> "
— Mindex, 3/16/2011" kindle freebie, okay, some Christian fiction overtones "
— Cynthia, 3/15/2011" This book was excellent for those that like suspenseful murder mystry. You will never get who it is till almost the end of the book! It was fab!! "
— Amber, 2/5/2011" Not a bad first fiction novel. I will definitely continue with the series. "
— Leslie, 2/1/2011" 1st in series. It felt like it took forever to get though even though it wasn't my main read. Probably won't run out to get the next in series. <br/><br/> "
— Donnajo, 1/15/2011" This book was interesting. I had a wicked step mother that reminds me of the character in this book. I felt a very weird connection with this book. From the ending I am glad she is not my step mother any more. Good read! "
— Samantha, 12/15/2010" Almost stopped, but started to get better. I will stick with it a bit longer. <br/> <br/>I am glad I stuck it out a little further. It is a good story with some twists and worth reading. "
— Treetotree, 11/17/2010" Great story - ending a bit too neat and wrapped up quickly rather like the author wanted to finish without any story to go with it. "
— Carol, 11/17/2010" Not a bad first attempt and an enjoyable story. I think if you read it with the mindset that (1) it is very unsubtly a Christian novel and (2) it is aimed at teens, it is not too bad. "
