Kate Lange is tortured by the guilt of her sister's death
many years before and being the daughter of a criminal.
Kate is reminded daily of the loss and the pain in her
heart. Ashamed and disillusioned after her fiancé, Ethan,
discovers her secret, Kate moves back to her old
neighborhood and starts a job with a prominent law firm,
all with the hope of finally making something of herself as
a trial lawyer.
After four months of family law, Kate is finally given a
consult and a litigation case. Kate discovers the consult
is another family law issue and a no-win situation. She
offers her advice to the older woman. But is it enough?
Kate's conscience starts to bother her, but before she can
make a change, the woman's granddaughter is viciously
murdered. The litigation case is quickly taken away from
her.
Feeling guilty for her lack of truly helping this elderly
woman with her issue, called out for it by her boss and
needing to champion for the slain girl, Kate starts to
investigate. Her instincts lead her in all the right
directions and quickly toward her possible demise.
Ethan is a cop, and even though they have issues that
cannot be resolved, he aids Kate in her investigation. Her
boss, Barrett, is highly attracted to her and fights his
desires for her. He secretly knows of her past and pushes
her to be the best lawyer she can be. Ethan and Barrett
have bad history, but after Kate disappears, they know they
must work together to find her.
Several young women have been brutally killed and their
bodies mutilated. Kate gets too close and discovers the
plot and the vicious killer. Now she is slated to be the
next victim and only her determination to live can save her.
Pamela Callow's debut thriller, DAMAGED, is every
bit as exciting as books by many New York Times
bestselling authors I have read. This tightly wound
thriller springs through an intricately woven plot to keep
the reader anticipating and squirming to the last pages.
After reading DAMAGED, you will be anxious to read Callow's
next novel.
Haunted by the death of her sister and wounded by her ex-
fiancé's accusations, Kate Lange throws herself into her
new career at a high-powered law firm.
When the grandmother of a lonely private school student
seeks her counsel, Kate thinks it's just another custody
case. But then the teen is brutally murdered. And it isn't
only Kate who wonders if her legal advice led to the girl's
death.
Put on notice by Randall Barrett, the firm's charismatic
managing partner, Kate must fight for her career, for her
reputation—and for redemption.
Unwilling to live with the damage she may have caused, Kate
pursues the case on her own and unearths some chilling
facts.
Facts that lead straight to the heart of a legal conspiracy.
Facts that lead Kate directly into the surgically skilled
hands of the Body Butcher.
Thank you for the wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed DAMAGED.

I had the chance to read Damaged, and was so hooked, that I couldn't wait to recommend it to a friend. I was thrilled when she bought it based on my recommendation. I just know she will be as glued to the pages as I was. I'm looking forward to reading more from this new to author. (Sandi Shilhanek 4:04pm August 4, 2010)
