A young mother living on the Louisiana bayou and a man accused of murder must solve a corruption case while on the run from a dangerous manhunt. When her four year old daughter informs her a sick man is in their yard, Honor Gillette rushes out to help him. But that "sick" man turns out to be Lee Coburn, the man accused of murdering seven people the night before. Dangerous, desperate, and armed, he promises Honor that she and her daughter won't be hurt as long as she does everything he asks. She has no choice but to accept him at his word. Coburn claims that her beloved late husband possessed something extremely valuable: a treasure that places Honor and her daughter in grave danger. He's there to retrieve it at any cost. Honor soon discovers that even her friends can't be trusted. From the FBI offices of Washington, D.C. to a rundown shrimp boat in coastal Louisiana, Coburn and Honor run for their lives from the very people sworn to protect them, and unravel a web of corruption and depravity that threatens to destroy them . . . and the fabric of society.
I've been a fan of Sandra Brown since the first book I've read of hers "Mean Streak". She has such a way of grabbing the readers attention within the fist few pages and next thing you know you're halfway through a book. This book was no different. So suspenseful, alot of curve balls, just when you think you've figured it out, you're proven wrong. I read it in one day!
Thriller with a sprinkle of romance!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! It was just the right amount of romance sprinkled into a classic "bad guy/good guy" and "dirty cop" story. The ending left me wanting more resolution, but overall the twists and turns kept me turning pages.

What a ride! I really love Sandra Brown and this is now one of my favorites. Not sure how I missed it for so long.
I was SURE I knew who the bad guy was. Then I guessed someone else. I was wrong both times.
You will not believe the ending. Sandra, how could you????
