Jill Breck was just doing her job as a river guide when she
saved the life of Lane Faroe, son of two of St. Kilda
Consulting's premier operators. But when a string of ominous
events—including a mysterious fire that kills her great-aunt
and a furor in the Western art world raised by a dozen Breck
family paintings—culminates in a threat to her life, Jill
reluctantly calls in a favor.
Zach Balfour works part-time as a consultant for St. Kilda.
His expertise is gathering and analyzing information from
unlikely and often dangerous sources. Though he's got the
skills to be a highly effective bodyguard, being a bullet
catcher isn't his preferred way to spend time.
Protecting Jill will take him into familiar territory—among
a strange, savagely competitive bunch of collectors who'll
do anything to stay at the top. But Jill is in deeper waters
than she's ever known; as she soon discovers, the perils of
running wild rivers are tame compared with the hidden
dangers in the high-stakes game of art collecting.
From the cozy rooms of the Breck homestead cabin to the cold
multimillion-dollar galleries of the Western art circuit,
Zach and Jill must race against time to unmask a ruthless
killer hidden in a blue smoke of money, threats, lies, and
death. . . .
