Claire O'Brien is a sassy, take-no-prisoners kind of gal
who knows how to get the job done. Working for Rogan-
Caruso Protective Services, the most influential private
detective firm in Sacramento, California, she has
rightfully earned her place among the best. Her killer
instincts and ability to dig for the truth have proven to
be her most valuable assets. Quite simply, there is
nothing she won't do to achieve justice for the innocent.
And, no one knows that better than her own father, an
escaped killer.
Tom O'Brien, a tough cop who wore his badge with honor, was
framed and convicted for the murders of his wife and her
lover. Claire, his orphaned daughter, is forced to spend
the remainder of her childhood trying to come to terms with
her parents' betrayals. For both Tom and Claire, their
bond of trust has been mortally wounded. There's no going
back. Or, is there?
When an earthquake hits California, Tom makes a daring
escape from prison and sets out on a mission to prove his
innocence. Dodging the F.B.I. at every turn, he zeroes in
on the one person who has the ability to make the truth
prevail... his beloved daughter. With nowhere else to turn,
Tom chooses to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to gain
back his daughter's trust. But, will she jeopardize the
life she has built in order to help the man she thought had
betrayed her? What will it take for her to turn back the
clock and let the only family she has left back into her
heart?
PLAYING DEAD is the third installment of Allison Brennan's
highly popular Prison Break Series. With each chapter
comes electrifying scenes that keep the reader on the edge
of her seat. Well-executed and highly entertaining,
Brennan quite deftly beats the possum at its own game.
Dead Man Running
Sentenced to death for crimes he didn’t commit, ex-cop Tom
O’Brien is now a fugitive on the run. After fifteen years
behind bars, he’s determined to prove his innocence—but
first he must convince his daughter, whose testimony
helped put him in prison, that he has damning evidence of
a plot to frame him.
Claire is no longer the naïve young teenager who walked in
to find her mother and her mother’s lover dead and her
father holding the gun. She’s a successful fraud
investigator who figures that everyone lies. Though Claire
believes in her father’s guilt, her curiosity propels her
to look into the disappearance of a law student who
claimed he had proof of Tom’s innocence. But the answers
Claire finds only lead to more questions and reinforce her
belief that there’s no one left to trust.
Obsessed with the O’Brien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi
befriends Claire under false pretenses, convinced that Tom
is not only innocent but in grave danger—and not just from
the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous
conspiracy tightens its noose—and Claire becomes the
target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect
his secrets.
