Hand of Fate (2nd in the Triple Threat Series)
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.
In the ensuing panic, police evacuate downtown Portland — and the triple threat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, crime reporter Cassidy Shaw, and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce begin piecing 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…and possible evidence.
In the days following Fate's murder, these three colleagues and friends confront a betrayal of the team while unearthing the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truth of who killed him, how close the killer really is, and the twisted motive for this cold-blooded murder.

The inspiration behind Hand of Fate
Since Lis spent eight years working side by side with Bill O'Reilly on The Radio Factor, the publisher suggested we begin a book by murdering a talk show host. Bill even weighed in on how he wanted the guy to die. But the radio host is not based on any one person. In fact, we sprinkled in clues pointing to nearly a dozen real life talk show radio hosts. See if you can spot them all.
