Seventeen years ago, Morgan Winter, then ten years old,
found the bodies of her brutally murdered parents. Raised
by her parents' best friends and now a successful
entrepreneur, Morgan is still haunted by what happened to
her parents so long ago. And now, the past is colliding
with the present, as new evidence sets the presumed killer
free. Morgan hires a private investigator—the former lead
detective on her parents' case—to help her get to the
truth and find the real killer. Monty brings on his son,
Lane, a photojournalist, to assist him. Together, they
discover a truth more shocking than Morgan ever expected.
In DARK ROOM, Andrea Kane delivers a suspenseful tale in
the vein of an extended Law & Order episode. Try as you
might, you can't turn away even though you wish you could
speed up the pace a thousand fold. Because from the
beginning, the story grips the psyche and won't turn
loose, throwing plot twist after twist at you until the
very end with the most unexpected twist of them all.
If Ms. Kane's other novels are similar to DARK ROOM, I
could certainly see myself tucking one into a suitcase
when packing for vacation. It's the perfect mix of
suspense and romance, one I'd save to curl up with when I
really had time to indulge in reading pleasure.
On Christmas Eve seventeen years ago, Morgan Winter was
traumatized by the discovery of her parents' brutally
murdered bodies in a Brooklyn basement. When shocking new
evidence overturns the killer's conviction, Morgan is forced
to face the horrifying realization that the real killer is
still out there.
Trapped between past nightmares
and present danger, she hires Pete Montgomery, the former
NYPD detective who once promised the helpless young Morgan
that he'd find her parents' killer. With nothing more than
an old case file and crime scene photos, Monty enlists the
specialized skills of his son, Lane, a photojournalist who
performs covert image analysis for the CIA. In a cruel twist
of fate, they expose the devastating secrets of the dark
past, only to discover that while the dead may be buried,
danger lives on . . .
