Plot Summary of Fat Tuesday
"This book is one of Sandra Brown's best. Burke Basile is seeking revenge for the murder of his partner and best friend and ends up falling in love with his enemy's wife. It's a straight up thiller with a twist of sex and love. It's a "can't put it down" type of book. "
Selena Coleman, Resident Scholar
