The Suburban Seducción Debra Mares 1st edition

Young, handsome and manipulating, Lloyd Gil earns his living for he and his wife as a software account executive in Canyon Base. Everything appears perfect on the outside until police reopen a ten-year-old murder case in Gil's neighborhood. Gil is quickly reminded of his sexually deviant past, which lead to the death of Annabelle Phillips, a young, beautiful, educated and pregnant housewife. Gil remains confident he will stay under the police radar, but once another suburban housewife turns up dead, he finds himself at the heart of the investigation in both murders. To help in his defense, Gil enlists his estranged step-brother, a high-profile attorney while quickly earning notoriety as the ?White Picket Fence Killer." When he meets another potential victim Eva Flores, she is instantly seduced by Gil, but torn because of his abusive ways that remind her of her childhood. Eva uses psychological games to try to save her own life and ?fix? Gil, who harbors a rage he can't even begin to understand. Blending non-stop thrill and courtroom drama with a keen sense of the criminal justice system, The Suburban Seducción explores how far a person will push the limits of justice. It raises important questions about in utero domestic violence and whether it can manifest in rage over time--or worse--murder. As first in a series of legal thrillers, The Suburban Seducción featuring Lloyd Gil, will ask you to decide whether a murderer can ever be redeemed.
