Kotker particularly enjoyed Deaver's description of one of Rune's dinners, which consists of cashews, chocolate chips, Grape Nuts cereal, and a bottle of beer. Despite her odd eating habits, in
Hard News Rune manages to get the assignment--from premiere television journalist Piper Sutton--of trying to clear Randy Boggs. Boggs is a transient who has been convicted of murdering the network head. Rune's task is complicated by the murder of several key witnesses, an attempt on Boggs's life, a physical attack aimed at Rune herself, and Boggs's disappearance from prison.
In The Lesson of Her Death, Deaver features detective Bill Corde. Corde is assigned to investigate the murder of several college students in the Midwest town of New Lebanon, while also trying to deal with his nine-year-old daughter's learning disability--she is out of touch with reality and prefers to live in her made-up world of demons and wizards. To complicate matters further, Corde's wife is having an affair with a college professor, who happens to be tutoring Corde's daughter.
