    • Uitgerekend op de dag na hun zilveren huwelijksfeest wordt Rosie Meyers door haar echtgenoot Richie verlaten voor een nieuwe, jongere vrouw. Vier maanden later struikelt Rosie 's nachts in de keuken over het nog warme lijk van haar ex. De politie is niet verbaasd wanneer Rosie's vingerafdrukken op het moordwapen worden aangetroffen. De wraak van een versmade echtgenote is wat hen betreft een uitstekend motief. Rosie is perplex - ze heeft het niet gedaan, ze is onschuldig! Maar waarom werd Richie vermoord en wie is de dader? Zonder geld en op de vlucht voor justitie komt Rosie terecht in de stadsjungle van Manhattan. Daar ontdekt zij meer over Richie's geheime dubbelleven dat hij tijdens hun huwelijk leidde dan ze ooit wilde weten en meer over zichzelf dat ze ooit voor mogelijk hield. Binnen een week verandert Rosie van een respectabele villabewoonster in een dappere detective. En tijdens haar speurtocht hervindt zij levenslust, seks, een nieuwe liefde - en grijpt tenslotte de echte moordenaar.

    • After more than two decades, Judith Singer, the heroine of Compromising Positions, returns in a rollicking new novel sure to delight established Susan Isaacs fans and new readers alike. Judith Singer's life has changed. Her husband Bob died at age 55 -- half a day after triumphantly finishing the New York City Marathon in four hours and twelve minutes. And although twenty years have passed without seeing him, she still can't get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department, out of her system. Judith finds herself surrounded by murder and mayhem when Courtney Logan, wife, mother, collector of vintage needlepoint and ex-president of Citizens for a More Beuatiful Shorehaven vanishes from Long Island into thin air. Naturally, all eyes turn to Courtney's husband, Greg, son of notorious Long Island mobster Philip 'Fancy Phil' Lowenstein. Fortunately Nelson -- who was never far from Judith's mind -- returns to help with what quickly becomes a murder enquiry.
