Impulse – Catherine Coulter – Signet – 2001 – Blanda

**Impulse**: Dear Listener:

Impulse is an exciting mystery suspense that first came out in 1990. I’ve done a bit of rewriting and updated it.

Now, I want you to get ready. Rafaella Holland, a Pulitzer Prize winner, now a journalist for the Boston Tribune, discovers from her comatose mother’s journals that her “real” father is Dominick Giovanni, a wealthy, very powerful arms dealer who lives and runs his operations from his own private island compound in the Caribbean. She wants revenge for what he did to her mother. She wants to gather enough proof to send him to prison for the rest of his miserable life.

Marcus Devlin manages the resort on Giovanni’s Island, private playground for the wealthy and powerful. He’s very good at what he does, but Rafaella wonders if he’s really what he seems.
