Consequence
Two women each face the consequences of murder and greed. Michaela stood by her brother as he was gunned down on a street corner. She flees to South Padre Island, Texas, knowing the killer is looking for her. In a failed robbery attempt, Betty's newly found half-brother kills her friend and coworker. She buries herself in depression and shame. Hap Lynch, a retired Kansas City cop, true to his own nature and motivated by a thirteen-year-old whiz-kid friend, wants to help. Can friendship and good intentions overcome the consequences of violence and deception? Can positive energy replace negativism? Can Hap and his friends save Michaela from a killer and Betty from herself? A thousand miles away, Jose plays his own game of deception, motivated by blackmail, fear and love for his family. Even if he saves his wife, Lourdes, will he beable to save their marriage or will the truth destroy them? Two ruthless businessmen, who have built a lucrative smuggling trade, care nothing for the consequences of their actions.

A nagging desire for the underlying truth in her brother's death fuels the protagonist, Michaela (Mick) Riley, on a dangerous journey of discovery and ultimate personal growth, in Pat McGrath Avery's Consequence.
Avery draws the reader in with the first passage, and doesn't relinquish the reins until well after the last page is turned. The author builds on layers of interactions and near-misses, to reveal a web of deceit and mystery in Consequence. Her characters are real and engaging, which adds integrity to the story as it unfolds and long-hidden secrets are revealed.
Consequence is a tale of regret, forgiveness, and redemption, full of action and intrigue, which touches the reader through myriad emotions. I found myself crying, shocked, laughing, and perched on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Consequence is a worthy addition to Pat McGrath Avery's other written accomplishments.
