Los Angeles is gripped by the exploding celebrity of Allison
Murietta, her real identity unknown, a modern-day Jesse
James with the compulsion to steal beautiful things, the
vanity to invite the media along, and the conscience to
donate much of her bounty to charity. Nobody ever gets
hurt?until a job ends with ten gangsters lying dead and a
half- million dollars worth of glittering diamonds missing.
Rookie Deputy Charlie Hood discovers the bodies,
and he prevents an eyewitness?a schoolteacher named Suzanne
Jones?from leaving the scene in her Corvette. Drawn to a
mysterious charisma that has him off-balance from the
beginning, Hood begins an intense affair with Suzanne. As
the media frenzy surrounding Allison?s exploits swells to a
fever pitch and the Southland?s most notorious killer sets
out after her, a glimmer of recognition blooms in Hood,
forcing him to choose between a deeply held sense of honor
and a passion that threatens to consume him completely. With
a stone-cold killer locked in relentless pursuit, Suzanne
and Hood continue their desperate dance around the secrets
that brought them together, unsure whether each new dawn may
signal the day their lies catch up with them.
