A Twist of the Knife

“A crime novel that transcends the genre . . . with characters so real and so recognizably human, that it breaks your heart a little.” —Shari Lapena, New York Times–bestselling author

Winner of the Tony Hillerman Fiction Award

Ex-FBI agent Brigid Quinn, now happily settled in Tucson, doesn’t visit her family in Florida much. But her former partner on the force, Laura Coleman—a woman whose life she has saved and who has saved her life in turn—is living there now. So when Laura calls about a case that is not going well, Brigid doesn’t hesitate to get on a plane.

On leave from the Bureau, Laura has been volunteering for a legal group trying to prove the innocence of a man who is on death row for killing his family. Laura is firmly convinced that he didn’t do it, while Brigid isn’t so sure—but the date for his execution is coming up so quickly that they’ll have to act fast to find any evidence that may absolve him before it’s too late . . .

A Twist of the Knife, Edgar Award and CWA Gold Dagger finalist Becky Masterman’s third Brigid Quinn novel, is the masterful follow-up to Fear the Darkness and Rage Against the Dying.

“A gripping third entry of this powerhouse series.” —The Boston Globe

“Masterman expertly builds both the family story and detective story to unexpected revelations and redemption.” —Salem MacKnee, The News & Observer (Raleigh)

“Masterman deftly layers in Brigid’s family story . . . This page-turner, which tackles the rising tide of false death-row convictions and the long arm of family secrets, should be perfect for Lisa Gardner fans.” —Booklist
