Book Blurb

An investigative journalist gets an unlikely tip from a mysterious informant. Dismissing it as impossible, she disregards the information and drops the story. Until the informant turns up dead, as predicted.

Plunged into the murky waters of a seedy underground prostitution ring, this psychological thriller provides twist upon dark twist in a story that would ultimately pin the church and several government officials in the largest murder cover-up the city has ever witnessed.

But is it true, or has the journalist merely been used as a pawn in a greater scheme? And how many people is she willing to sacrifice trying to figure it out?

 

Book Review

I am totally stunned and almost speechless. It seems as if what was ‘calculated’ about this book was the ending. My stomach is pretty much all twisted up in knots as I suspect that will happen to others, but the trip and the tension were taut and exciting. The writing and pacing was top notch. I suggest ‘Calculated’ be read with some stiff drinks ready to help everyone manage the finale! I recommend it but with reservations for folks who might find a surprise ending upsetting. 

Ana Meyers is one kick-ass journalist, who has a tendency to get her own butt in a sling. However, the scent of a great story and the righting of some horrible wrongs are simply not to be passed up. How can that possibly compare to her re-assignment? She never gives up, but she is in for one strange awakening. We all are.

Ana does get a really nice mini-respite when she hooks up with a previous lover, Reilly, who is a totally focused computer research geek and a hot partner between the sheets. This is Ana’s only chance at a little comfort when she cashes in with her friend for free research service for all the chicken Zingers Reilly can consume. Reilly is a really fun interlude and helps Ana get some additional, important information, too.  

Enjoy this strange, but delightful story as I did. Keep in mind; your innards are going to get scrambled. Isn’t that what a great thriller should do? Give this wild one a chance!
