Twisted Truths

While investigating a jewelry heist, Detective Ryan Boone discovers that what looks to be a simple crime is tied to a terrible secret. As he struggles to make a connection between the heist and four, seemingly unconnected, murders, Mel Parker, who runs an illegal escort service, refuses to come forward with what she knows. To complicate things further, somehow five other women are implicated in the murders despite most having never met. The trail turns up as many dead-ends as resolutions. Ryan and Mel have to discover the connection before someone else ends up murdered.

“Wicked” by Maggie Giles is a gripping sequel set in the heart of Canada, where a determined detective and a forensic expert uncover a chilling conspiracy with nationwide implications, making it a must-read for fans of Gillian Flynn and Lisa Gardner. Detective Ryan Boone just can't let this case go. While the mystery behind the robbery and murders in Twisted was uncovered a few months back, there is still a very large loose thread that Boone desperately wishes to tie up. He convinces his superiors to allow him to travel to Ottawa, where he's uncovered a lead into a conspiracy that hints what happened in Toronto has nation-wide, and horrific, implications. Former detective Cora Porter has moved to forensics, but when a strange case involving a murder, a runaway, and a case of mistaken identity hits close to home, she squeezes her way into the investigation. It also doesn't help that a certain visiting detective has caught her eye, and is also willing to work with her on the case. Their suspect, Blaine Roche, always seems to be one step ahead of Ryan and Cora. What they don't know is that he's not just trying to evade arrest, but take down the conspiracy for his own purposes. Given he's already a wanted man, Blaine is willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge. He has nothing else to lose... or so he thinks. “Wicked” picks up where “Twisted” left off, but in a new location and with several new twists.
