When the host of a popular radio talk show is murdered, the suspects almost outnumber his millions of listeners.
Outspoken radio talk show host Jim Fate dies tragically when poisonous gas fills the studio while his polarizing show, “The Hand of Fate,” is on air.
The triple threat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, crime reporter Cassidy Shaw, and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce must piece together the madness, motive, and mystery of what just happened. And this time, it’s personal since one of the women was secretly dating the host and has access to his home . . . as well as possible evidence.
In the days following Fate’s murder, these three friends confront a betrayal within the team while unearthing the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truths behind this cold-blooded murder.

“Pulse-pounding. Major twists. Delivers big!” —Pam Veasey, writer and executive producer of CSI: NY

"Another quick mystery to read in a day or two. My only complaint about these novels is that the guilty person always confesses and explains their motives af the end for committing the crime. I doubt it happens that way in real life but I guess the loose ends gotta be tied up in a fiction, right? The characters in this book are a continuation from her first book and I sure fell in love with them more in this book. I really want to know what's going to happen to each of these women now."

" Quick quick read. Three best friends that solve murders! Fun and relaxing to read! "
— Lisa, 2/14/2014" This is a great pleasant read. A great cozy. I found it rather simple , but did look forward to reading it daily. Small, but not heavy christian element for those that do not care for the heavy christian theme. I like both styles. I will read more if I can get them free or about .99. I usually will not pay much for an author I have not tried yet. Good enough to read, but do not like to pay for a book unless 2nd hand or cheap kindle if I would not want to keep and read again. Coming from the views of others though-and I do recommend it-you may enjoy it enough to read twice or give as a gift if you are into that. It was a long book, which I like. Covered woman in different work types. Not depressing like some mystery , thrillers can be. Great friendship, but not silly. Great Intrigue. Rates slightly higher than 3, but not a 4 *. "
— Karen, 2/8/2014" Easy to read while traveling, not very complicated. "
— Babs, 1/13/2014" A satisfying read entwining the three main characters' lives with the mystery. I look forward to the third one in the series. "
— Jo, 1/12/2014" The second in the Triple threat series is another great, clean murder mystery! "

— Brad, 12/21/2013" I enjoyed this read. Kept trying to guess which talk show host she based Jim Fate on. "
— Lee, 12/21/2013" I was disappointed in this second book in the Triple Threat series. It just didnt keep me as interested as the first one did, at times I had to force myself to keep reading. I will continue reading this series, just hope the next one is better. "
— Marsha, 11/27/2013" This is my least fav book but still has a cool mystery to it. "
— Mckenzie, 11/19/2013" ok. the reporter climbing the carreer ladder was TSTL. "
— Ruth, 11/18/2013" just discovered this author. really like her books. "
— Linda, 11/15/2013" Definitely Christian fiction but all the triple threat characters are not Christians (yet?). My mouth waters throughout the book. Definitely will finish the series. "
— Nanette, 8/8/2013" Like a bad copy of James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. Starts off well but goes downhill fast. "
— Jay, 6/9/2013" It was a decent murder mystery with a few issues added in. "
— Kay, 4/29/2013" Very good. Read it in one day. I'm going to get the other two books in the series. "
— Linda, 1/3/2013" Lis can get you hooked on her Triple Threat series of mysteries. I like getting more of an insiders view on the journalism, crime-fighting, and prosecuting aspects of professional life that this series incorporates. "
— Zelda, 10/4/2012" I'm beginning to like the Tripple Threat Club. They are realistic characters. I haven't decided which character I like best, but I think Allison appeals to me most. "
— Sue, 9/21/2012" A radio talk show host is murdered and the Triple Threat Club is on the case. Great murder mystery starring three great women characters. This is the second book in a trilogy. I enjoyed this one much more than the first. "
— Tanya, 7/22/2012" I am finding these triple threat books fun to read. They keep you reading and waiting to know what is coming next. The twists and turns are great and I will be starting Heart Of Ice immediately. Can't wait!! "

— DeLaine, 5/24/2011" I enjoyed this read. Kept trying to guess which talk show host she based Jim Fate on. "
— Lee, 5/17/2011" A women's book for women. Rape, murder, miscarriage are included. "
— Al, 4/9/2011" It was OK. I liked the mystery part, but the catching the "bad guy" in this book was very similar to the last one. I would like to see some variation in that. Haven't decided if I will continue with this series "
