A Shot to the Heart

By James L. Thane

Laura Martin's father has been callously murdered and now only Laura herself can bring a ruthless killer to justice
At thirty-five, Cyndi Parker is nearing the end of her shelf life as a sexy convention model. Determined to enjoy a life of ease and luxury, she seduces and marries Terry Martin, a wealthy widower thirty years her senior. Fifteen months later, she coldheartedly murders Terry in a manner that will make it appear that he has died naturally of a massive stroke. The scheme should net Cyndi an inheritance approaching ten million dollars, but it doesn't account for Terry's daughter, Laura, a cardiologist who knows more than a little about strokes and who is convinced that Cyndi has murdered her father.
Laura begins to build a case against Cyndi, but Cyndi is executing a long and carefully calculated plan. She'll stop at nothing to protect the prize she's finally won, and as the two beautiful, clever, and determined adversaries circle each other, the battle may have deadly consequences for both.
Editorial Reviews "A Shot to the Heart is an edgy thriller, pitting two women against each other in an escalating war of wills-one seeking justice, the other evading it. Both are prepared to cross every line to achieve their aim, regardless of the consequences. A wild ride to the disturbing conclusion."- Patricia Smiley, author of The Second Goodbye "A great twist on the cat and mouse game. You know who did it and how but will they get away with it? You'll burn through the pages to find out."- S.G. Redling, author of Flowertown
