An artist haunted by her mother's murder. An unknown and unstoppable outlaw. When their paths cross, all clues point to a killer. "Kept me on the edge of my seat from cover to cover..." - Eunice Reno, Nevada. Nine years after her mother's still unsolved murder, former homeless teen Zoë Cruse has found stability with a husband, child, and a career as a tattoo artist. But when a biker comes in and asks for new ink, Zoë can't help but draw comparisons between one of the images on his back and her mother's death. Worse, his other ink appears to represent a deadly pattern, one that may indicate he's a serial offender. Determined to unearth the truth despite her husband's disbelief, Zoë researches the images and infiltrates the man's notorious motorcycle club in search of evidence. But with the police, federal agents, and a rival gang all in pursuit of the same outlaw, her quest for closure may end with more than one person in the morgue...including her family. Can she unravel the mystery and find justice before she ends up six feet under? The Tattoo Artist is the chilling third book in the Women of Redemption suspense thriller series, featuring women who may not be perfect, but perfectly kick-ass when given a second chance. If you like strong female characters, fast-paced plots, and tension-filled pages, then you'll love Lori Lacefield's spine-tingling tale. Interview with the Author Q - So, what makes the Women of Redemption books special? A - I think it really boils down to the characters. When I write, I let the characters tell me who they are, and what I discover is that like any of us, they wrestle with the challenges life throws at them in a varied manner. The emotions they experience are real - anger, betrayal, hurt, grief, guilt - and the choices they make as a result may not be good or right, but they're human, and people make mistakes. The question facing each in the end is, what will they do to make the wrong right? Q - You like to throw your strong female protagonists into some impossible situations. Why is that? A - I've always liked books about ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. I believe people often find the best in themselves when faced with the worst. I want readers to put themselves in these women's shoes, and think... What if I discovered the man I found guilty of murder was innocent and I was the one responsible for securing his death sentence? What would I do if I found out the woman I most respected was taking justice into her own hands? What if a man walked into my tattoo shop and I suspected he killed my mother? Q - These books seem to cross genre boundaries, a bit mystery, suspense, and thriller. A - I think all authors like to create books that mirror the kind of books they like to read. My top picks are usually serial killer thrillers, psychological thrillers, police procedurals, and any number of thriller and mystery best sellers. I love a fast-paced style that keeps me on the edge of my seat. As a result, I think my books tend to take a part from each genre - a bit "whodunit", some "don't open that door", add a few high stakes and blend them together... Q - So, why should a reader check out your books? A - Because you'll love the page-turning action! Thanks for reading!
