About this ebook

Attorney Gail Connors must look to her past to discover who is threatening her family this “gripping . . . riveting thriller” (Publishers Weekly).

Gail finally has everything she wants—a home to call her own, a growing private law practice, and a loving man in lawyer Anthony Quintana. But life is never perfect: the house needs massive renovations, her professional life is getting out of control, she’s in the middle of a custody case with her ex, and Quintana’s murky past continues to disturb her.
 
Then Gail receives a series of mysterious phone calls and obscene letters threatening violence, torture, and death. The target: not Gail herself, but her ten-year-old daughter, Karen.
 
Gail knows she’s made enemies in her line of work. But now someone is threatening her little girl. And her tormentors are about to learn that there is no limit to how far Gail is willing to go to keep her family safe.
 
Written by an Edgar Award finalist and former prosecutor, “Suspicion of Betrayal works as a thriller, a psychological suspense novel, a mystery and a romance as well as an examination of cultural clashes [with] believable, realistic characters stylishly shaped” (South FloridaSun-Sentinel).

Suspicion of Betrayal is the 4th book in the Suspicion series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

I didn't get this book from Google but at a garage sale. But I wanted to leave a review anyway. Great book, very suspenseful, kept my interest the entire time. I enjoyed the twist and turns of the story. Well written:)
