Trigger Effect

By Maggie Price

Every killler makes a mistake. It's my job to find it.

Subject: trouble with latest assignment. Every killer makes a mistake. It's my job to find it.

A joke. That's what most cops think of me, an expert in forensic statement analysis. I catch criminals by what they say, and more importantly, what they don't say. The science of language and double meanings fascinates me, and if that makes me a nerd at the police department, I can live with it. Even suffer the contempt of hot homicide cop Nate McCall. But an odd statement from one of Oklahoma City's finest has triggered my suspicion–his words ring of murder. And proving it could silence me forever

Maggie Price

Maggie Price turned to crime at the age of 22. That s when she went to work at the Oklahoma City Police Department. As a civilian crime analyst, she evaluated suspects methods of operation during the commission of robberies and sex crimes, and developed profiles on those suspects. During her tenure at OCPD, Maggie stood in lineups, snagged assignments to homicide task forces, established procedures for evidence submittal, even posed as the wife of an undercover officer in the investigation of a fortune-teller. Drawing on her 12 years experience in law enforcement, Maggie penned her first novel, Prime Suspect. One week after Silhouette acquired the novel of romance and intrigue, the Romance Writers of America awarded Prime Suspect its prestigious Golden Heart Award for Best Romantic Suspense. Maggie has conducted extensive research for her novels that thrill and chill by visiting OCPD s forensics laboratory, taking aim on the police firing range, riding the graveyard shift with patrol officers, and hitting the streets with OCPD s Vice Detail during the conduct of a prostitute sting.
