New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Allison Brennan is the author of twenty novels, including the Lucy Kincaid series, and many short stories.

But for the first time, she wonders if this time, the truth will kill. Max believes the truth is always better than lies, that the truth is the only thing that matters to gain justice for victims and their families.

If Ivy was murdered, it was exceptionally well-planned and that kind of killer could be hiding in plain sight … planning the next act of violence. But the more Max learns about Tommy and his dysfunctional family, the more she thinks she’s taken on an impossible task: this may be the one case she can’t solve. She travels to Corte Madera, California, with her assistant David Kane and is at first pleased that the police are cooperative. This isn’t the type of case Max normally takes on, but the heartbreak and simple honesty in Tommy's letter pulls her in. Tommy thinks that if someone can figure out what happened to his step-sister, everything will go back to normal, so he writes to investigative reporter Maxine Revere. With too many suspects and not enough evidence, the investigation has grown cold. After a year, the police still have no answers: Ivy could have jumped, could have been pushed, or it could have been an accident. He's distraught and doesn't understand why his blended family is falling apart. Teen-aged Internet bully Ivy Lake fell off a cliff and few people cared … except her mentally-challenged eighteen-year-old step-brother, Tommy. Poisonous by Allison Brennan is the third thriller in the Max Revere Series (available April 12, 2016).
