When the host of a popular radio talk show is murdered, the suspects almost outnumber his millions of listeners. Outspoken radio talk show host Jim Fate dies tragically when poisonous gas fills the studio while his polarizing show, "The Hand of Fate," is on air. In the ensuing panic, police evacuate downtown Portland -- and the triple threat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, crime reporter Cassidy Shaw, and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce begin piecing together the madness, motive, and mystery of what just happened. And this time, it's personal since one of the women was secretly dating the host and has access to his home...as well as possible evidence. In the days following Fate's murder, these three colleagues and friends confront a betrayal within the team while unearthing the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truths of who killed him, how close the killer really is, and the twisted motive for this cold-blooded murder.

      Bestseller Wiehl and Henry's second Triple Threat novel (after Face of Betrayal
      ) offers an exciting if familiar plot. When Jim Fate, a radio talk host in Portland, Ore., opens a padded envelope addressed to him shortly before going on air, he releases a poison gas, possibly sarin, that soon kills him. The package also contains a copy of Talk Radio
      , originally a play, later a movie, about the true-life murder of Denver talk show host Alan Berg. Caught in the subsequent investigation are three young professionals with links to law enforcement: federal prosecutor Allison Pierce, who's pregnant; FBI special agent Nicole “Nic” Hedges; and Cassidy Shaw, a TV crime reporter, who formed the “Triple Threat Club” after a high school reunion. Readers will identify with these very real women as they try to uncover Fate's killer, and each battles a personal demon—Allison her fear of miscarriage, Nic her fear of her daughter's criminal father, and Cassidy her prescription drug addiction.

      Jim Fate, a Limbaugh-style talk-show host, opens a sealed envelope and inhales poison gas. The Triple Threat Club trio, FBI Special Agent Nicole, Federal Prosecutor Allison, and TV crime reporter Cassidy, who has been personally involved with Fate, go into action to chase down the perpetrator. Narrator Pam Turlow differentiates each character and dramatizes her struggles and fears. However, the author's overemphasis on character detracts from the mystery. Still, Turlow's depictions of Allison's worry over a possible miscarriage, Nicole's fears of abuse, and Cassidy's unsuspected prescription-drug addiction are credible and engaging. In the end, Turlow's excellent narration overcomes the shortcoming of too many personal issues. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
