Imagine walking out of a Christmas party at work onto a New
York City street after having a lovely time with colleagues
and then finding the body of a woman. You'd be shaken up,
but even more so when you go for help and discover the
woman is gone when you return.
This is the scenario Zoe Foster, popular comic strip
creator, finds herself in. For anyone this would be a
traumatic event, but for the creator of Kitty Floyd, P.I,
the death and disappearance becomes a plot she
just can't overlook. Using her comic strip and newspaper as
a way to figure out exactly who the
mysterious woman was, Zoe discovers she's Lola Malone, a
nightclub singer at Zoe's ex-husband's club.
Zoe soon finds herself becoming reacquainted with her ex
and discovers there's still an unresolved spark between
them. Rick has always had a possessive and protective
streak for Zoe, and he's determined to help her with the
mystery, if only to protect her. As Zoe and Rick begin to
figure out the Lola mystery, Zoe becomes the target of a
would-be assassin. And she's sure this is all tied to
Lola's death. Life, however, is never that simple,
especially for Zoe, who's confronted with even more mystery
in the form of a long-presumed dead father.
NOW YOU DIE is a suspenseful and intriguing journey into
the underworld of the mob and the obsession of unrequited
love. Heggan continues to hold you entranced in her novels
with her adept storytelling and compelling strong female
characters.
When cartoonist Zoe Foster stumbles across a woman's
lifeless body in an alley beside her New York office, she
does what any good, civic-minded citizen would do: she calls
911. But when the police arrive, there's one small
problem--the woman is gone.
Without proof of foul play, the police dismiss her concerns,
but like Kitty Floyd, P.I., the heroine of her popular comic
strip, Zoe is not easily discouraged. Her curiousity is
piqued even further when she learns that the missing woman,
Lola Malone, was a singer at Blue Moon, a nightclub owned by
Zoe's ex-husband, Rick Vaughn.
Trying to set aside their differences, the two team up in an
effort to find Lola. But the search turns hazardous when Zoe
comes up with a new story line based on the singer's
disappearance, and immediately becomes a killere's target.
All evidence points to one of her fans, an individual who
seems to know her every move, and who will do whatever it
takes to stop Zoe from finding out the truth.
