Opis

Wealthy land developer, Jay Stiles, must murder a business associate, or else his life and career will be destroyed. He hires a former cop called Streaker to dispose of the body and cover his tracks. Streaker thinks he has left no trace, but mistakes are made that put both men in jeopardy of arrest-and their lives. Jay's girlfriend, Camille Carson, believes he cancelled their dinner date because of work demands, unaware that he is actually busy committing murder. At first, she is angry to be stood up, but she quickly finds solace in the new guy in town, Matt Garrison, seated beside her. They share a memorable evening and make future plans. As the arrests of Jay and Streaker becomes imminent, their desperation puts Camille in danger. The police, as well as Matt, are in a race against time to save her. But will they get to her before it's too late? Wilson provides us with four memorable characters and sets them down in a shadowy maze of obsession and betrayal where there is only one way out. Like the best noir, this story puts its characters through an emotional wringer and makes the reader feel their desperation, too. -Kirkus Review
