Book description:

Jane Ryland was a rising star in television news…until she refused to

reveal a source and lost everything. Now a disgraced newspaper reporter,

Jane isn’t content to work on her assigned puff pieces, and finds

herself tracking down a candidate’s secret mistress just days before a

pivotal Senate election.

Detective Jake Brogan is investigating a possible serial killer. Twice,

bodies of unidentified women have been found by a bridge, and Jake is

plagued by a media swarm beginning to buzz about a “bridge killer”

hunting the young women of Boston.  

As the body count rises and election looms closer, it becomes clear to

Jane and Jake that their cases are connected…and that they may be facing

a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to silence a scandal.

Dirty politics, dirty tricks, and a barrage of final twists, The Other Woman

is the first in an explosive new series by Hank Phillippi Ryan.

Seduction, betrayal, and murder—it’ll take a lot more than votes to win

this election.
