From New York Times bestselling author Joan
Johnston comes a dazzling new Bitter Creek novel that

explosive, spine-tingling tale of murder, wrongful
imprisonment, and a woman who counts no cost too high to
see a killer brought to justice.
FBI Special Agent
Breed Grayhawk has the hottest sex in his life with a
stranger who calls herself Grace Smith, only to discover
early the next morning that her real name is Merle Raye
Finkel -- and she's a convicted double murderer who broke
her parole a year ago and disappeared. Now she's his prime
suspect in a terrorist threat against the U.S.
president.
Grace Caldwell is determined to find the
killer who framed her for the murder of her father and
stepmother -- and make him pay. She burgles the home of
her #1 suspect and nets a surprising haul: a hot-pink,
silk-covered diary -- the record of a sex-addicted wife's
adventures -- which suggests that Grace's #1 suspect isa
serial killer. But her theft has been caught on tape, and
the man she's been chasing becomes the hunter...with Grace
as his prey.
With just five days until the president
arrives in Austin, Texas, the last thing the FBI needs is
a serial killer on the prowl...and a terrorist suspect who
will stop at nothing to clear her name. The clock is
ticking down, and Agent Grayhawk is racing time to
discover the truth about his dangerous lover.
