Publisher's Synopsis
BLINDSIDED
Myra Rutledge isn't ready to put the Sisterhood--the stalwart band of friends who've become legendary for meting out their own brand of justice--behind her just yet. Though she loves her beautiful home and her husband, Charles, Myra can't deny that she's restless. And as it turns out, she's not the only one longing to dust off her gold shield and get back in action. When Maggie Spritzer, former editor-in-chief of the Post and an honorary member of the Sisterhood, arrives with a new mission in mind, Myra welcomes her in. Maggie's newshound instincts haven't dulled since she left the Post, and she suspects that two Maryland judges--identical twins Eunice and Celeste Ciprani--are running a moneymaking racket that sends young offenders to brutal boot camps, often on trumped-up charges. Soon the Vigilantes are gathering in their war room once more, catching up on the events in each other's lives even as they plan their campaign. The Ciprani twins are powerful and ruthless, and taking them down won't be easy. But with the aid of formidable allies, Myra, Annie, Maggie and the gang concoct a scheme that will bring justice to the innocent--and leave the guilty blindsided....
KISS AND TELL
All good things must come to an end. Even the women of the Sisterhood--the stalwart sorority that has helped to right so many wrongs--have been content to let their gold shields gather a little dust while they enjoy friends, family, and the comforts of civilian life. But the group's leaders, Myra Rutledge and her best friend Annie de Silva, remain as vital and feisty as ever. When a string of anonymous emails arrives at Pinewood, suggesting shady dealings at a local assisted-living facility, the two set out to investigate. Emanuel Macklin, the financial wizard behind the sprawling, high-end senior complex, has amassed a private fortune that would make Fort Knox look like spare change. But the hefty returns Macklin promises his investors may be garnered at others' expense. In fact, Macklin's enterprise is one enormous Ponzi scheme that's about to collapse--taking the life-savings of thousands of innocents with it. Myra and Annie know this is a mission tailor-made for their brand of justice, but they'll need to enlist some new and untested allies. And even as they set out to foil one of their most cunning adversaries to date, Myra faces a personal challenge that will rock the Sisterhood to the core....
