Deadly Choice

After her daughter bleeds out from a miscarriage in Texas, Patricia Scott kills the doctor who had failed to perform a medically necessary abortion. She then sets her sights on the attorney who’d advised against the abortion out of personal ambition, taking a job as a housekeeper as the first step of her plot.

Hired by the doctor’s widow after police labeled her husband’s death a suicide, Lizzie Vaughn, an investigator with her own dark past, begins the hunt for the killer. But Lizzie’s hunt is sidelined when she is also hired to find a young woman with a heart condition who was kidnapped to prevent her from ending the pregnancy that threatens her life. Patricia not only unexpectedly finds herself bonding with the children of the woman she plans to kill, she also learns that a young woman could die unless someone intervenes. Can Lizzie and Patricia set aside their individual quests to prevent a second tragedy?

Advance praise for Deadly Choice:

“[Deadly Choice] brings together a memorable cast of characters to highlight the potentially deadly consequences of ‘pro-life’ activism… multiple vectors of suspense that keep the reader hooked.… Manning presents complicated heroes with dark sides and villains who, while they are less multi-dimensional, also have redeeming qualities.… Compelling characters stop at nothing to achieve their ends in this very contemporary thriller.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Deadly Choice spins an ever-thickening web of deceit, deception, and decisions.… Manning’s ability to build exquisite tension by juxtaposing diverse lifestyles and characters lends to a feel of rich discovery as deadly secrets and circumstances emerge. …a delightful foundation of psychological depth. …a gripping countenance. Highly recommended for libraries interested in superior character development and interplays between characters that are not above deception and subterfuge, Deadly Choice is a real winner.”
