"When Roses Weep" Revenge, corruption, love, rape and murder are woven into a tapestry of intrigue against the backdrop of Las Vegas. Attorney Fran Simone never thought of herself as a murderer until she thought about her estranged father, Mayor Max Simone. Lately, she'd been thinking about him a lot. When Max starts calling her repeatedly, she is willing to do anything to drive him out of her life - until she learns just how much revenge can cost. The setting is Las Vegas, where the best laid plans end in murder, where a dead police woman and a deranged child killer pit Fran against her childhood demons, where family secrets lead to deadly outcomes, where love is never where you look for it, and where it's sometimes hard to recognize the good guys. Revenge isn't always sweet.
