Secret Service agent Jo Harper returns to her hometown of
Black Falls, Vermont, to hide out in until she can assess
the damage to her career. On her watch, Jo fell for a prank
perpetrated by the vice president's 16-year-old son and his
friends. After the boys posted a video on the Internet, her
anonymity is blown. Jo arrives home to discover her ex-
lover, Elijah Cameron, recovering from his father's
unexpected death and from grievous injuries received in
combat.
Their tentative reunion is cut short by the suspicious
death of an ambassador in Washington D.C. and the
disappearance of his stepdaughter, Nora, in the Black Falls
Mountains. Jo and Elijah put their conflicted feelings
aside to search for Nora. Working with family, friends and
associates, Jo and Elijah uncover a network of killers
assassinating seemingly unrelated targets. The killers
systematically remove anyone who poses a threat to them.
Some unexplained deaths now make sense. Running against
time, Jo and Elijah tackle the mountain during a major
snowstorm, trying to find Nora before the killers do.

wait is short until February 2009 for the next thrilling
tale, BETRAYALS.
