Playing Dead by Allison Brennan

Lots of characters to keep track of while trying to figure out who’s doing all the killing. Fifteen years ago, Tom O’Brien was convicted of killing his wife and her lover. Now he’s a fugitive back in Sacramento trying to prove his innocence and reconnect with his grown daughter. FBI agent Mitch Bianchi befriends Claire O’Brien under false pretenses to try to recapture her dad. A law student who was reviewing Tom’s original case finds errors in the proceedings and ends up dead. Claire and the FBI try to follow the law student’s leads and the twisted plot eventually unravels.

I had never read this author before and won’t rush out to buy any more of her books. There are several subplots that the author eventually ties together after jumping around from plot to plot.
