Winter Massey is tired of playing cops and robbers. He
wants to settle down with his new wife, Sean, and try to
bury the ghosts of the people he's killed in the line of
duty as a U.S. Marshal. But then his friends, Hank and
Millie, are involved in a hit-and-run accident in New
Orleans. On top of that, Winter's son's best friend, Faith
Ann, goes missing after her mother is killed.
The tragedies are connected to a case Faith Ann's mother
was defending, trying to get a man, Horace Pond, off of
death row. As Winter starts delving into the case, all the
while searching for Faith Ann who's on the run for her
life, he's mired in a nasty situation. Murder-for-hire by
cold-blooded killers adds up to life-threatening danger --
for Winter and his friends.
Sit down with this novel and don't plan on getting up
again. Miller knows how to yank the plot strings and
develop characters that keep you focused on this book and
little else. Faith Ann is just a stupendous character, and
her keen mind and observations elevate the tension. I liked
Winter Massey in the first book (INSIDE OUT, out May 31)
and can't wait for the next book in the series, SIDE BY
SIDE (coming in September), to see more of him. This new
crime series is a must-read for those who like action and
top-notch tension.
In the rain-slick streets of New Orleans, a twelve-year-old
girl is running out of time. Hours before, Faith Ann Porter
hid under a desk while her attorney mother was murdered for
photographs that could rock the city. Now Faith Ann is
being hunted by a pair of killers with a very powerful
boss. Because she has the negatives of the photos her
mother died for, Faith Ann has only hours to live–and only
one person who can save her....
Winter Massey is an ex—U.S. marshal whose career pitted him
against some of the world’s most ruthless criminals. Now
Massey is drawn by a horrifying cycle of murder–and the
plea of one terrified young girl. But awaiting Massey is a
chilling surprise...and an assassin with a secret mission,
a secret motive, and the perfect plan....
