How far would you go to protect a secret?
Ask David Farrell, a man who risks everything to protect his.
Law student, David Farrell, is months away from his dream
of becoming a powerful attorney in Texas when fate steps in. A chance
encounter in a Houston bar opens a seam into his past and threatens to
expose a secret kept hidden behind smiles and charm. In one brief moment,
Farrell goes from charismatic law student on the brink of a brilliant career
to a man embarking on a journey of no return.

A young woman's murder complicates Farrell's life and
leads Houston homicide detective, Paul Barlow, through a maze of disguises,
a romantic triangle, and betrayals before the case is solved.
What reviewers are saying about Murder in the Third Person:
"Betty Gordon no doubt writes as a
mother and an observer of students in college and law school. Her characters are
wonderful examples of "people-in-training" and the mistakes that they make. She
cleverly tucks some truisms into her writing by showing rather than telling. Her
plot is believable; tragic; and engrossing to the reader. Her writing style is
crisp and fresh, and any mystery lover will have a hard time putting her book
down. MURDER IN THE THIRD PERSON is a cozy with lots of twists and turns that
can be enjoyed by any reader of almost any age. It's lessons are basic and
instinctual and are good reminders of self-esteem issues." Midwest Book
