Publisher's Synopsis
From the award-winning mystery author hailed by the Washington Times as "the leading proponent of gutsy, nontraditional women who nimbly tread in he-man territory" comes a roller coaster of a suspense novel about two friends racing to escape a police dragnet.
Beautiful, blond Liza Silvestri has put her bad-girl ways behind her and is living the California dream in a Malibu beach house with her adoring venture-capitalist husband, Jay - until gunfire erupts one evening at their L.A. loft. Liza doesn't dare call the police - she's got a secret in her past - and it turns out Jay has secrets of his own.
Now, running from professional killers and dirty cops, Liza begs her college friend, Ellen, to come with her. At the last moment, Liza grabs her piglet, Felton, as well. Racing through the back roads of Northern California and Oregon, she tracks the only clue she has, to end the nightmare that has enveloped her, hoping it will prove to be Ellen's and her salvation - and not their grave.
