The victim lies bleeding in the street as the ambulance
comes screeching to a stop. As the paramedic begins CPR,
she notices a bloodstained envelope clutched in the
victim's hand. He forces her to take it and in a voice
wrought with pain, says, "Give...to Mitch Edwards...swear."
Paramedic Kirke Palmer knows she's breaking the rules as
she pushes the envelope into her jacket pocket promising
she'll find Mitch Edwards and not go to the police. That's
when Kirke knows she's emotionally committed to doing
everything she can to make good on her promise.
Seven years in prison at Leavenworth for a crime he did not
commit has bred desperation into Jake Kelly. The Army
turned their back on him when someone found a half million
dollars in an off-shore bank account in his name, but he
did not open. The government needed someone to blame, so
Jake was convicted of stealing both the money and a bundle
of uncut diamonds totaling five million dollars.
Now Jake is on supervised parole, forbidden to leave the
state of Illinois. But he'll take any chance possible to
clear his name, even risking violation of his parole. An
unknown phone caller, who claims to have information
on "what went down" in South America seven years earlier,
has brought Jake to an Atlanta tavern. It's in front of
this tavern that he witnesses the "accident." It provides
him with a license number, a face he'll never forget and
the paramedic he saw take an envelope -- an envelope he must
get his hands on.
Kirke soon realizes how much danger she's in by having the
envelope in her possession. Her home has been searched and
she's been thrown into a street to die. She and Jake meet
and are running for their lives. Kirke is in a situation
more serious than she ever thought possible. Jake is
obsessed with clearing his name and, at the same time,
protecting this strong, courageous woman he's falling in
love with.
CATCH A SHADOW is the latest spellbinding, cannot-put-down,
roller-coaster ride, suspense thriller by Patricia
Potter. It's chockfull of mystery, intrigue and nonstop
action. The intricately detailed plot is fascinatingly
played out with characters a bit flawed, very human, strong
and committed. This fantastic thriller is compelling,
chilling and another winner for Ms. Potter. You don't want
to miss this one.
When paramedic Kirke Palmer agreed to the deathbed request
of a hit and run victim, she thought she was doing the
right thing. Little did she realize that her good-will
gesture would make her the target of a cold-blooded killer.
