Devastating skeletons in the closet and a sibling rivalry that has
gone too far. . .

WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK by Gloria Mallette

While Celeste Dawson wants badly to have a relationship with her older
sister, Katrina, Katrina despises Celeste and hates that they are even
related. Author Gloria Mallette again uses her skillful story teller's
pen to take readers on a journey deep into the phenomenon of sibling
rivalry and infidelity. WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK (Dafina/Kensington
Publishing, 0758211570, $15.00), her seventh novel, reunites two
sisters who have been bitterly estranged most of their lives. They
come together because of unfortunate and unorthodox tragedies.

After a childhood betrayal and years of having nothing to do with each
other, Celeste and Katrina are forced to come together when tragedy
strikes. Both sisters are now widows, and their lives are turned
upside down when their husbands' secrets are exposed to the light of
day. Celeste's husband was murdered in a hotel, and she does not know
who murdered him or why. The betrayal and deceit of Katrina's husband
demoralizes her and threatens her financial security, she questions if
she will ever be able to hold her head up again. Will the sister's
finally unite and work together to forget their past?"
