Brenda
Carnegie has a secret… many secrets, as it turns out.
Separated
from her older sister Vicki Boyd when their parents were killed in an airplane
accident, Brenda grew up in Robeson County, North Carolina. She is equally at
home trudging through alligator-infested swamps as she is shooting a gun,
tending a bullet wound, evading police—and committing computer crimes.
Brenda
is an opportunist, especially when it comes to hacking into websites and secure
databases, participating in shell companies and cybercrime, and amassing a
fortune that must, for her own preservation, be held in off-shore accounts and
out of the reach of the United States government. She’s quick, she’s street
savvy, and she’s often sexually charged.
She
also doesn’t trust anyone. She prefers the dark side, living life on the edge,
moving through her life alone and capable of changing her plans on a moment’s
notice. She has a very high tolerance for pain which holds her in good stead on
many a gritty occasion.
She
made her first appearance in Exit 22 when her partner-in-crime is murdered by a
hired assassin—and the hitman comes after her. But her real secrets begin to
spill in Secrets of a Dangerous Woman—secrets that reach to the highest levels
of government and beyond, and which could very well get her killed.
And
if the Black Swamp Mysteries series was made into a movie, who would play
Brenda Carnegie? My pick would be Lindsay Lohan, who could play this bad girl
very well.
Next week: Christopher Sandige.
