When the host of a popular radio talk show is murdered, the suspects almost outnumber his millions of listeners.

Outspoken radio talk show host Jim Fate dies tragically when poisonous gas fills the studio while his polarizing show, “The Hand of Fate,” is on air.

The triple threat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, crime reporter Cassidy Shaw, and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce must piece together the madness, motive, and mystery of what just happened. And this time, it’s personal since one of the women was secretly dating the host and has access to his home . . . as well as possible evidence.

In the days following Fate’s murder, these three friends confront a betrayal within the team while unearthing the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truths behind this cold-blooded murder.

“Who killed loudmouth radio guy Jim Fate? The game is afoot! Hand of Fate is a fun thriller, taking you inside the media world and the justice system—scary places to be!” —Bill O’Reilly, FOX News anchor, host of The O’Reilly Factor

I write mysteries and thrillers. I live in Portland, Oregon with my family.
When I was 11, I sent a short story about a six-foot tall frog who loved peanut butter to Roald Dahl, the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He took it to lunch and showed it to the editor of a British children's magazine - and she asked to publish the story! (For no money, which might have been a warning about how hard it is to make a living writing.)
My dream of writing went dormant until I was in my 30s, working at a corporate job, and started writing books on the side. Those first few years - when I wrote a book a year, worked full time, and had a baby - are now thankfully a blur. Now I'm very lucky to make a living doing what I love. I have written 26 novels for adults and teens, with more on the way. My books have been on the New York Times bestseller list, won the Anthony Award, gotten starred reviews, been chosen for IndieNext, translated into eight languages and won awards in a dozen states.

Several stories about three best friends and murder. Lis Wiehl has a way of blending the stories and developing the characters that holds your interest. It’s a page-turner!

Exciting Plot and Great Characters

When Jim Fate, a controversial talk show host, opens a package that contains poison, his death puts his town into a panic. As citizens fear a terrorist attack, Allison, Cassidy, and Nicole work together to find the person or group responsible for the death of Fate, who had made many enemies with his brash opinions. Will they find the person responsible before their own lives are in danger?

While the mystery aspect of the novel was interesting and fast-paced, my favorite part of the book was the character development. The three strong, independent women who were introduced in book one show more growth in this book as readers find out what happened in Nicole's past to make her so wary of men, the reason for Cassidy's insecurities, and the strength of Allison's faith as she is tested with tragedy.

The author's knowledge of the world of politics and media shines through again in this book. A funny addition to the book was the letters from popular radio hosts who thought the character of Jim Fate was based on them.

Fans of suspense/murder mysteries will enjoy this addition to the Triple Threat series. I definitely recommend reading them in order.

Hand of Fate is not a winning hand

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase

I just finished reading the 2nd installment in the Triple Threat series, Hand of Fate. This is the 2nd book in the series, after Face of Betrayal.

I had really high hopes for this book. I was so excited after reading the first one last year, I didn't know how I would be able to wait so long for the next installment!

So, the book finally came and I eagerly started reading it. I am very disappointed to report that for me, the book did not have even half of the appeal the first one had for me.

The dialogue of the three main characters, Cassidy Shaw, crime reporter, Nicole Hedges, an FBI agent, and Allison Pierce, a Federal Prosecutor, seemed stilted and did not flow. Their back stories and motivation for most of their actions seemed unbelievable and far-fetched. The action jumped back and forth, and was very confusing in the beginning of the book. There were a few action packed events, but they fizzled out before they could pack a punch.

I kept hoping it would get better, but it just didn't.

I think that the authors have a great premise in this series, but it just wasn't executed as well as the first book.

As far as this book being categorized as a "christian, spiritual book", I noticed a lot of "Thank God's" and "let us pray" thrown in, but I didn't hear the music at all. It seemed a bit fake and seemed to be used as an after thought.

Would I buy the next book in the series? Probably, since I really hope that the next one gets back to the same flow and entertainment value of the first one.

Jim Fate has a radio talk show called The Hand of Fate. It is widely popular in a negative way as well as a positive way. He receives a package on his break at the station while sitting in the booth alone. He opens it and a spray comes out and starts the process to end his life. He is not sure what it is and afraid it is Sarin gas he lets those outside the booth so they can escape in time. It creates a panic in the whole area around the station. The investigation into what happened and who sent it opens a whole can of worms as Allison & Nicki go looking for answers. A very good read.

Well Done!

Very well written. I have to assume this was intended to be a series, because the characters were set up with bare bones descriptions. The mystery was very well played out, believable. What I appreciated the most was women portrayed as sensible, intelligent, and individuals. Once I finished this one I could not wait to read the next one. Each successive story has fleshed out each woman & you become more & more interested in their personal lives. This is really good literature.

I’ve seen Liz Wiehl on Fox News but did not realize she was an author until she was interviewed by one of her colleagues. So that’s what prompted me to buy the book. I love the friendship of the three strong women! I read A LOT. I haven’t read any other books by Ms. Wiehl but I definitely would like to read some of her other books. This book keeps you guessing but I wasn’t sitting on the edge of my chair!

Good read but not great

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013

The book did not excite me in any way. It seems to be written more for a woman than for a man. But, if you want to spend a few hours reading it you might get into it more than I did. It's the only book of hers that I have read so I didn't know what to expect when I bought it.
