Description:

For the first time in my adult life I was flying without a net. Fear was nibbling at my insides, creeping its way into my brain. I was buzzing with apprehension. But the job offer from Jane was a bolt of calm, clean sunshine breaking through the murky depths of my nerves. Chicago is the Windy City, and these days the winds of change are whipping Izzy McNeil’s life all over the map. A high-profile job on Trial TV lands her in the hot seat. After a shocking end to her engagement, she finds herself juggling not only her ex-fiancé, but a guy she never expected. And a moonlighting undercover gig has her digging deep into worlds she barely knew existed. But all of this takes a backseat when Izzy’s friend winds up brutally murdered. Suddenly, Izzy must balance the demands of a voracious media and the knowledge that she didn’t know her friend as well as she thought. When red-blooded lust leads to cold-blooded murder, corpus delicti takes on a whole new meaning **

Review

Aims for the sweet spot between tough and tender, between thrills and thought - and hits the bullseye.. A terrific novel. --New York Times bestselling author, Lee Child

Take Izzy McNeil to bed tonight. You won't get much sleep, but you'll spend tomorrow smiling. At once a novel of sexual politics and an intricate thriller, Red Blooded is smoking hot and impossible to put down. --Marcus Sakey, author of Good People and The Blade Itself

This is a Red Blooded thriller that keeps you turning the pages. But there's more -- the wonderful surprise is that these characters will matter to you. You feel for them and fear for them and that's a serious achievement. Caldwell's writing is at the top of her game and just about everyone else's in this compelling novel that I dare you to put down! --International Bestseller, M.J. Rose, author of The Memoirist
