Deputy District Attorney Rachel Knight and her friend
Detective Bailey Keller are reunited once again. The
daughter of a Hollywood producer has gone missing. What
is most unusual is that the missing girl, Hayley
Antonovich, is a good kid, not the usual spoiled brat
involved in drugs and general mayhem. Rachel and Bailey
think she might have eloped with her recently acquired
boyfriend, but then they learn Hayley has been kidnapped.
A ransom was paid by the father, but Hayley was never
returned to her family. Things get even more mysterious
when Rachel and Bailey discover that the boyfriend's
identity is fake; he doesn't exist!
KILLER AMBITION is the third book in the Rachel
Knight
series, and it is fantastic! The plot twists come very
early in the story, and I was on the edge of my seat
right from the start. Although the relationships between
the characters evolve along the series, KILLER AMBITION
can easily be read as a standalone, as plenty of
background is provided by the author. Ms. Clark's
descriptions are vivid, her attention to detail is such
that it's obvious she has the knowledge and experience
that makes everything work so seamlessly. The characters,
whether the recurring ones or those in this specific
instalment, are multifaceted and always intriguing, and
more facets of Rachel's personality are unveiled in this
fast-paced novel. I absolutely adored Declan, who works
with Rachel, and I would really liked to see him in the
future.
It's a real treat to follow Rachel and Bailey along the
investigation, one clue at a time, to witness the
painstaking work they do, as well as the wonderful
camaraderie between the two women. KILLER AMBITION is an
exceptional page-turner, and at times, it doesn't even
feel like a novel, but rather as if the reader were in
the courtroom and toiling along with Rachel. There are
plot twists and revelations until the very end; you never
know what's coming. KILLER AMBITION is a riveting legal
thriller, and one of the best of all time, in my opinion.
Another winner for Marcia Clark!
When the daughter of a billionaire Hollywood director is found murdered after what appears to be a kidnapping gone wrong, Los Angeles Special Trials prosecutor Rachel Knight and Detective Bailey Keller find themselves at the epicenter of a combustible and high-profile court case. Then a prime suspect is revealed to be one of Hollywood's most popular and powerful talent managers--and best friend to the victim's father. With the director vouching for the manager's innocence, the Hollywood media machine commences an all-out war designed to discredit both Rachel and her case. KILLER AMBITION is at once a thrilling ride through the darker side of Tinseltown and a stunning courtroom drama with the brilliant insider's perspective that Marcia Clark is uniquely qualified to give.
