She is certain her former husband Drew Harland is Tonia's murderer, of course she comes to Hawkman for help in finding the killer.

She skillfully hooks the reader with her opening line and holds interest right on through to the end of the narrative. Evocative of the drama found in Christine Spindler's Faces of Fear along with the rich characterizations present in Paula Boyd's Hot Enough To Kill, LaPierre's Double Trouble is a gripping read. Betty throws a red herring or two into the mix just to keep the reader on their toes.</span></p><div><span style="font-family:Times, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
