Two and half years ago in Los Angeles, a Grand Jury indicted Blue Pacific Records producers Roy and Lainie
Davis Gardner for unlawful business practices due to his ties to organized
crime. Not long after that, someone
kills Roy in front of their teenage daughter Sara. With his death the charges against his wife
were dropped, but her music career died too along with their house in Encino.
The cop on that case ruthless Harry Roman has become an Assistant
District Attorney obsessed with putting Lainie behind bars for her hiring a hit
on her spouse; though as she points out to him when he accosts her in a
theater’s parking lot that if he had proof she’d be arrested not lectured. Meanwhile ambitious political powerbroker
Thom Newberry informs her that the ADA has a sworn statement that she
contracted the hit on her spouse. He
offers Lainie an opportunity back into the music world and removal of the
stalking ADA from her life. In return,
he demands Lainie obtain a file from influential Leonard Volkman.
This is an exhilarating action-packed suspense that grips the
reader from the moment Roman waylays Gardner in the parking lot and throughout
the taut storyline. Though overly
complicated with plenty of twists including a great climatic spin and rotating
between the past and present, readers will wonder who will be left standing at
the end.
