Sympathy for the Devil: An Angela Bivens Thriller

FBI Special Agent Angela Bivens has just won a race and sex discrimination lawsuit against the Bureau. All she ever wanted was to be a field agent. But she should have been careful what she wished for. Her cynical, manipulative superiors appear to throw her a bone — helping a befuddled and apathetic D.C. Police Department investigate the brutal kidnapping and murder of two teenage girls, as well as the macabre, ritualized execution of rival drug dealers. The cops say the murders are drug related, but as Angela investigates she realizes that someone is using gang warfare to cover up for an even more unimaginable kind of evil.Though the stress of the case saps Angela's spirit, fate pushes her into a love affair with every woman's dream — the handsome and mercurial P.T. "Trey" Williams, lawyer, lobbiest, and leading African American presence in D.C. But with Trey Angela also gets his twin brother Gannymede, a former Navy Seal and hopeless drug addict. As Angela falls more for Trey and becomes embroiled in trying to solve a mysterious rash of murders plaguing the city she realizes that there's no one in her life she can trust — not her new lover, not his crazy brother, not the cold-hearted Victor Styles who is her superior, not Juan "Los" Thigpen who pursues her, not even her girlfriends, who think that her desire to solve the murders is making her nuts and keeping her from settling down with Trey. If she can't get help she'll solve the murders on her own, in her own way, no matter the cost. To her career. To her love. Or maybe to her life.
