“Webb keeps the suspense teasingly taut.”—Publishers Weekly
“An engrossing thriller!”—New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham on Traceless
Product Description
Deputy district attorney Carson Tanner has dedicated his life to justice. But he is still haunted by one case that was never solved: the murder of his entire family in cold blood. Back then, the teenage Carson was protected by his girlfriend’s influential father, Senator Randolph Drake. But now, fifteen years later, Carson finds himself facing a whole new world when a man confesses to the Tanner killings. His name is John Stokes. And his confession only scratches the surface of the truth…
Carson knows that Annette Baxter uses her brains and beauty as a fixer for the rich and powerful, making their indiscretions disappear in exchange for security and influence. But now someone is using her clients’ secrets—and her own—against her. And even though Carson can’t ignore his attraction to her, he is dead-set on making Annette pay for her crimes…but what if she holds the key to the burning secret he’s spent his whole life seeking?

This review is from: Faceless (Mass Market Paperback)
Debra Webb is becoming one of my must have authors, and FACELESS continues her list of great reads. After a surfeit of urban fantasies I found it a wonderful change of pace.Carson Tanner is a Deputy District Attorney, he is also a man on a mission. Fifteen years ago his family was murdered. Known as the Avenger, because of his dedication to his job, he has finally closed the murder of his family when a serial killer includes them in his final list. Unfortunately that is just the begining for Tanner. A beautiful woman seduces him one night and the next day he finds that she is the subject of an FBI investigation. Then she tells him everything is connected to his family's murder. He doesn't believe her but suddenly things are changing to quickly for him to understand.
Annette Baxter has come from nothing, from the foster care system to being a prostitute, to being the go to person for the movers and shakers in Alabama. She has fought and climbed out of the gutter into the afflunce of the rich and famous. She is the protoge of Otis Fleming and the FBI intended to use anything they could find to force her to testify against him. Annette isn't worried about the FBI, she is worried about the people she has helped. The very ones who should be helping her are setting her up. She knows too much about certain people and things. Esspecially the murder of Carson's family.
The story is intense and filled with action. The relationship between the characters is deeply emotional as Carson goes from hateing her to being unable to forget their interlude. Now he must use her and her knowledge, which she doles out piece by piece, to try to save their lives and bring the true killers to justice.
I loved it. It is everything you want a good mystery to be. I was shocked and surprised at the ending and as long as she writes like this I will be buying her books. Very good read.

fascinating investigative romantic suspense, Aug 9 2008
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Faceless (Mass Market Paperback)
Fifteen years have passed since the senseless slaughter of his family in Alabama, but in spite of his current position as a Deputy District Attorney, Carson Tanner has not received any closure; the case went cold a long time ago. He still thanks his girlfriend's father Senator Drake for taking care of him back then when he was a teenager suddenly alone with tragedy and trauma; however putting it behind him remains impossible. That is until apparently now when serial killer John Stokes confesses that he killed the Tanner family.Carson does not feel like his nightmare is over. When he meets Annette Baxter, they fall into each other's arms for one wild night. However, he soon learns she is a problem fixer for the affluent, including someone under investigation by Tanner's office. Soon afterward, leaks suddenly appear re the Tanner family homicides that lend credence to a rumor of a false confession. Carson begins to wonder what role Annette has played while she understands the only survival to the threats to their lives means escorting the ADA into a world of dishonesty
This is a fascinating investigative romantic suspense thriller starring two opposites at least on how each sees justice. Carson was shaped by the deadly traumatic incident and goes out of his way to stay legal as he feels the law is above reproach; Annette has no qualms gleefully going outside the law and is proud to do so. They make the tale as together they might swim out of a small-town cesspool polluted with toxic corruption and murder; separately they will be the next two statistics.
