A Rage of Maidens
By Lauren Wright Douglas – A Caitlin Reece Mystery
Clive Culhaine has hired Caitlin to help his troubled young daughter, Andy. Several years ago, Andy was primary witness to a sexual assault on her sister. In the court proceedings that followed, Caitlin, on the prosecuting team, was helpless in the face of the brief prison sentence given to Mal Dennison.
Since then, tragedy has caused the break-up of Andy’s family. And now Dennison has been released from jail.
Caitlin’s own life has changed. Her long-standing tenants have moved away, she is recovering from an unresolved love affair. And her investigation of Dennison lays bare new dimensions in herself - and unsettling new demarcations in the people around her. In former lover Tonia, in friend Gray Ng, even unscrupulous Fancis the Ferret seems altered.
There is one certainty. Caitlin is no longer helpless to deal with Mal Dennison. And she has a weapon more lethal that the .357 magnum she carries: her own, highly personal, very deadly rage.
