Mortman, Doris Out Of Nowhere(hardcover)
Kensington July 1, 1998 1-57566-301-5 / 9781575663012 Hardcover hardcover w/dustjacket; good
A skillful manipulator of the heartstrings, bestseller Mortman (The Lucky Ones) adds a thriller dimension and some convincing details to her latest romantic novel. Amanda Maxwell, a slim beauty who coolly photographs corpsesfor the NYPD, came by her sangfroid the hard way. Born Erica Baird, she wasforced to disappear into the Witness Security Program (WITSEC) at age nine, when her mother, Cynthia, testified at two trials to avenge the death ofErica's Uncle Ken, a drug enforcement agent. Not even Erica's father, Lionel Baird, whom Cynthia had divorced, could know that Erica and Cynthia survived the firebombing of their Miami house, staged by the U.S. Marshall as cover. After two decades of shadowy self-invention, described in harrowing detail by Mortman, Amanda leaves her mother and cuts the WITSEC umbilicus fora new life in ManhattanAnot coincidentally the home of her father. Super-rich, in the throes of his third divorce, Lionel is a tough-minded mover andshaker, but he still grieves for his supposedly lost child. Mortman captures the nuances of father-daughter relationships. Amanda (dubbed Max by hercop colleagues) and Lionel are mistaken for lovers as they rediscover eachother over expensive dinners. The confusion suits Max. She has left WITSECbut not its mindset, and she's still aware that there are drug lords and mobsters who would close in for the kill if they knew her identity. Meanwhile, she struggles with her erotic feelings for slick financier Tyler Graysonand earthy PI Jake Fowler, men of mystery themselves, unnervingly linked toher past. Trusting the wrong one could cost more than a broken heart. Aman

Mortman ( Rightfully Mine ) writes passionately of the rich,troubled Hungarian heritage. The many bold and memorable characters and therousing finale, however, are somewhat undermined by cliched prose and a quagmire of subplots.

Mortman, Doris True Colors
Ivy Books November 29, 19 0-8041-1111-1 / 9780804111119 Mass Market Pa used: very good
Despite a slow start, inventory-like descriptions and some unbelievable plot pivots in its first half, Mortman's fourth novel (after The Wild Rose) winds up spinning an intricate, compelling and romantic story of undone loyalties and unearthed secrets. Isabelle de Luna and Nina Duran are raised as sisters by a kind, struggling couple, who own a hotel and an art gallery inSanta Fe. The Durans took in Nina as a foundling and, a decade later, in 1963, opened their arms to Isabelle, seven, who had just witnessed the rape-murder of her mother, a wealthy Spanish artist, and the arrest of her fatherfor the crime. Years later, Nina discovers the true circumstances of her adoption by the Durans and, in a credulity-stretching development, leaves Santa Fe for New York, creating a new identity and severing all past ties. Meanwhile, Isabelle has assuaged her grief over her parents' deaths through her art, evolving into the "most sensual, accessible artist since Georgia O'Keeffe." Nina and Isabelle cross paths repeatedly, if not amiably, with Nina's ascendance as a society reporter allowing her to perform hatchet jobs on her sister, whose artistic success she envies. The entanglements of bothwomen with assorted men propel the story to its dizzying, satisfying conclusion, in which Nina comes to terms with her origins and Isabelle recovers the memory of her mother's true killer, so that each can be free to love.
