About this ebook

She tried to tell her friends. She even went to the police. No one would believe her--and now she was dead.

Problems had always followed Susan White, but when she remarried and moved to Houston's posh suburbs, she thought the past was behind her--until she met a deputy sheriff named Kent McGowen who would soon become her worst nightmare.

McGowen was an aggressive cop with a spotty record. When Susan rebuffed his advances, she claimed he stalked and harassed her, using her troubled teenage son as bait. And then, in an act of arrogance and revenge, he made good on his threats, setting her up for the kill.

In A Warrant to Kill, Kathryn Casey meticulously pieces together the tragic shards of the case to create a riveting story of vengeance, fear, and justice--of the terrifying power a badge can have in the wrong hands.

Bit disappointed, I have read almost all other books written by Kathryn Casey and thought they were all very well researched and written but this book is not up to her normal standard in my opinion which left me somewhat disappointed. Too many questions have been left unanswered. OK but not much above that.

Really good book ,the story was so gripping,I couldn't putit down. It is hard to believe that someone found guilty of murder can still walk away freely for several years before being jailed?

Kudos to Kathryn Casey. Very well researched and fast-paced . Read it in 2 days. Afterwards I wanted to see what McGowen looked like. He actually has a website called freekentmcgowen.com or something like that. He refers to himself as "highly decorated." Highly decorated? Hah! What a joke! Thanks for all your hard work Ms. Casey!!
