RED HOT LIES

An Izzy McNeil mystery

“Take Izzy McNeil to bed tonight. You won’t get much sleep, but you’ll spend tomorrow smiling.”
–author Marcus Sakey,

RED HOT LIES (June 2009) is the first book in a new back-to-back-to-back trilogy from critically acclaimed author Laura Caldwell that includes RED BLOODED MURDER (July 2009) and RED, WHITE & DEAD (August 2009).

They say bad things happen in threes. When her fiancé, Sam, disappears on the same day her mentor and biggest client is killed, hotshot Chicago attorney Izzy McNeil starts counting. But trouble keeps coming. Sam is implicated in the client’s death, her apartment is broken into and it’s not just the authorities who are following her.

In order to find Sam and uncover her client’s murderer, Izzy will have to push past limits she has never imagined. Lucky for her she’s always thrived under pressure because her world is falling apart. Fast. And the trail of half-truths and lies is red-hot.

To “write Chicago” you have to know Chicago and yet Caldwell doesn’t just know it, she lives it. A former Chicago trial lawyer and now a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Loyola School of Law, she knows the legal system, has witnessed crime up close and uses her two decades of being a Chicagoan to create a sizzling summer mystery series and a feisty, unforgettable character in Izzy McNeil

RED HOT LIES will be available in June wherever books are sold and at www.MIRABooks.com.
