NOT EVEN MURDER CAN GUARANTEE SILENCE . . . A Phone Call. Burdened with a devastating secret, the former mistress of an American president chooses a young woman named Reebie Mahoney as her confessor. There is only one condition: Reebie has to come meet with her immediately - tonight. A Double Life. Standing outside the mistress's apartment building in the swanky Nob Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, Reebie hears a scream followed by a gunshot. When the door is finally opened, Reebie is horrified to realize that the woman lying dead on the floor is not a stranger. The Fall-out. Within hours, the building is swarming with police and Reebie is their murder suspect. As she is dragged into a terrifying world where past and present collide, someone - a mobster, a television star, maybe Reebie herself - is going to die. From the author of INTERN, KILLER BODY, OFF THE RECORD, IF IT BLEEDS, CUTLINE, and THE RIVER BELOW, MISTRESS is a novel of suspense, high stakes, and double identity that is almost impossible to put down.
