mystery. Ann Carlisle stalked by missing husband or probationers she is in charge of.Good read.

First Offence was an enjoyable read – good guys verse the bad guys. Pages kept turning as with other Nancy Taylor Rosenberg books. My main criticism of Rosenberg’s works, or my reading habits, is that they are all very similar. Perhaps I happened upon several of Rosenberg’s books and read them one after the other. Not a good idea. ( )

Wanneer reclasseringsambtenaar Ann Carlisle op straat door een kogel wordt getroffen, lijkt het eerst op een willekeurige aanval. Of heeft de voorwaardelijk veroordeelde crimineel Jimmy Sawyer er toch iets mee te maken? Hij was de enige automobilist die voor de zwaargewonde Ann wilde stoppen, en zo haar leven redde. Enige tijd later, als Ann Jimmy gaat bedanken, ontdekt ze in zijn huis een verlaten drugslaboratorium - en iets veel, veel gruwelijkers... Vlak daarna beginnen de telefonische bedreigingen. Wil Jimmy haar bang maken, zodat ze zal vergeten wat ze in het lab heeft gezien? Of is er meer aan de hand? Anns explosieve woede is het enige wapen dat zij bezit om zichzelf en haar tienerzoon te beschermen tegen een genadeloze psychopaat. ( )

Nancy Taylor Rosenberg's earlier works, Mitigating Circumstances and Interest of Justice were suspense masterpieces with strong female characters. Now she's created one of her most sympathetic heroines in Ann Carlisle, a probation officer in danger from an unknown enemy who wants to harm her and her teenage son. What Ann doesn't know is whether this has something to do with one of her earlier cases -- or something to do with her husband, who vanished mysteriously four years ago. A drug dealer who saves her from a bullet has some grisly secrets of his own to hide, and Ann's lover grows more and more distant. Soon Ann realizes that she can trust no one, and must find her attacker alone. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
