Karen Peny-Mondori is a first-rate criminal attorney. But her judgement is about to be put to the test when the political becomes shockingly personal and her family's troubles become fodder for the headlines.
Her brother, a respected US senator, is found dead from a bullet wound to the head. All signs point to suicide. When Karen sets out to uncover what could have driven him to despair, a videotape surfaces depicting the senator involved in behaviour of the worst kind. But a man in her brother's position has many enemies. And Karen is convinced the tape is a fake.
Determined to clear her brother's name for the sake of his fragile widow and bewildered twin sons, Karen soon finds herself caught between legal ethics and personal loyalty. And wondering where the truth fits in...
In the light of the recent Senatorial Impeachment hearings, Catherine Amold's story of the wrongfully accused upright Senator and the manipulating of videotaped 'evidence' takes on a particularly pertinent resonance. A fast-paced, thrilling ride that take readers in and out of the complex legal system, Wrongful Death is Amold's third gripping legal thriller.

From the Author
Where The Butchers' Ball came from
I had great fun writing The Butchers' Ball, although getting the mystery part of the plot to work out had me ripping my hair out as usual. It's very loosely based on the experience of working for a merchant bank which nearly went bankrupt, thanks to a famous 'rogue trader'. But the setting and characters are very different, and it's all mixed up with another story about an anonymous Internet 'dating' (ie sex!) site which is definitely not inspired by banking. If you decide to buy The Butchers' Ball,or Brass Monkeys (my first novel, thanks!

In recent years, cults have been making horrifying headlines: Jamestown, the Aum cult responsible for the subway gas attacks in Japan, and Waco. Texas to name a few. The Oath is based on extensive research and it is a terrifying read. A page-turning thriller this is Rankin Davis writing at the height of their powers.

The Research
Rankin Davis' research revealed a huge increase in the number, range and power of cults worldwide. With the approach of the Millennium they have sprouted like spiritual weeds. Many were harmful with leaders not as well known as Corresh, Jones or Manson but vying for their place in History. They talked extensively to victims like Giles who had experienced their methods first hand. Their research brought about the chilling realisation that cults are perpetuating harm worldwide against those seeking something to believe in.
The stories were harrowing but how were the authors to know if they were embellished or exaggerated? In order to find out for themselves they visited a retreat last May under assumed names and experienced at first hand the 'love of the lord'. Their experience with this powerful group who cannot be named, formed the basis of the cult in The Oath.
It took weeks for their sleep patterns and appetites to return to normal and had it not been for the use of false accommodation addresses they would been pursued and hounded by their hosts to this day.

When Leon Garrick is despatched to negotiate a ransom in Spain, he does not know his client is habouring a deadly secret: a programme to develop racially targeted viruses.
