The Other Hand

by Donna Foley Mabry

In the twilight of his career, basketball superstar Andre Jeffers is captivated by a very young, very virginal, and very beautiful groupie, Sierra Warner. At their first meeting he becomes obsessed with having her. With the help of her scheming mother, she manipulates him into leaving his family and marrying her. Once she has what she wants, his money, his name, and a portion of his fame, she divorces him. Andre doesn't love her. He realizes that he never really loved her the way he loved his wife, his childhood sweetheart, but he finds he can't let her go. She is his, bought and paid for. When she is found slaughtered, Andre is the prime suspect--but not the only one. The real killer moves on to the next name on his list, Andre himself. Las Vegas homicide cop Sam Howard must think all the way back to his first days on the homicide squad to solve his case, but can he do it before the murderer reaches his next victim? From the exclusive estates of Beverly Hills to the Las Vegas Strip, ‘The Other Hand’ takes you along on a journey through the lives of athletes and movie stars and the circle of people who surround them, groupies, paparazzi, families, and sometimes even a real friend. It gives you another theory of what may have really happened the night the beautiful young blonde was left to die in a spreading pool of her own blood.

Heart Breaking

What a wonderful story. Loving, maddening, heart warming, deceitful, adultery, all from a very selfish man named Andrea. Yet had all the love in his heart for his children that anyone could manage. Married to a woman who was dedicated to him in a never-ending life span. An ending that saddened me greatly as I had come to admire this family greatly.

Very different from previous books by this author but good

Likeable characters, good and bad choices that all us humans evolve and mature make, this time with an especially high price to be made.

I loved reading with anticipation however I was shocked at the end I'm not sure what I expected but not the death of the two main characters. It made me sad
