Ashes To Ashes
(Tami Hoag)
Tami Hoag's ability to skillfully concoct a plot of mystery, suspense, and romance is displayed once again in her bestselling thriller, Ashes to Ashes.
Our heroine is Kate Conlan, a tough, no-nonsense former FBI agent turned victim/witness advocate. An attractive 42-year old woman now working for the Minneapolis District Attorney?s office, Conlan has seen her share of drama in and out of the courtroom. However, the crime that opens the story is one that is unprecedented, as it is gruesome and the politics surrounding it threatens to divide the city.
A body of a decapitated and severely mutilated young woman was found ablaze in a wooded park in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. The police believe they have a serial killer on their hands, nicknamed the Cremator, as the bodies of two prostitutes were disfigured in the same fashion. Only this young woman wasn?t a prostitute. The driver?s license found by her unidentifiable remains suggests that she is Jillian Bondurant, daughter of the private billionaire Peter Bondurant.
With all the tension in the city related to the murders, the FBI sends its finest ? charismatic and mysterious Special Agent John Quinn, who has his own private troubles and attempts to keep them out of the spotlight . The only person that truly knows him is Conlan, and the reasons why she left the FBI begin leaking into the plot.
Hoag cleverly directs us through a list of possible suspects as the story continues to unfold and more young women are murdered. A security guard at Jillian?s apartment complex, Jillian?s best friend, and even the founders a women?s rehabilitation home, are all taken into account. The identity of the murderer and the heart-pounding conclusion allow one to understand why Tami Hoag is one of America?s leading suspense novelists.
