A Matter of Trust: A Mia Quinn Mystery

This suspenseful first in a new series from Wiehl and Henry (Eyes of Justice and three other Triple Threat novels) opens with a bang. While Mia Quinn, a prosecutor in the King County (Wash.) district attorney’s office, is on the phone with a fellow prosecutor, Colleen Miller, someone shoots Colleen dead. Mia’s boss, DA Frank D’Amato, asks her to lead the investigation into Colleen’s death, which could have a link to the murder of another prosecutor four years earlier. Meanwhile, Mia is also working the case of a bullied teenager who committed suicide, and trying to raise her teenage son and preschool daughter, as well as coping with her husband’s death. Trust becomes the centerpiece—who deserves it and the betrayal that trust sometimes leads to—in a story full of twists and turns that also offers a hint of future romance for Mia.
