The gorgeous, brainy and filthy rich Cally Wilde has met her match in the handsome, smart and filthy rich detective Evan Paley. So much so, that they are now engaged and living together most of the time. In fact, Cally is making plans for the big event when Evan receives a mysterious phone call that he tries to hide from her. When she grills him about his secretive behavior, he gives her his usual comment, "There are things it's better you don't know about." Leaving it at that, Evan heads downstairs. Then shots ring out below, and Cally creeps down the stairs to encounter a man pointing a gun at her. When he quickly leaves, she discovers the dead body of a stranger in Evan's office, but Evan is nowhere around. He's been kidnapped.

Immediately calling Evan's partner, Curtis, for help, Cally is distraught and confused about what's happening. As cryptic phone calls, e-mails and post cards start arriving giving weird clues to where Evan can be found, Cally finds herself involved in a race against time to locate him before something even more tragic occurs. Soon it's found that an ex-girlfriend of Evan's is somehow connected, and Cally doesn't know what to think about the situation. It will take all of Cally's smarts and savvy to save the man she loves.

Continuing the exploits of Cally Wilde, LA socialite-turned- sleuth, which started with the exciting LOADED (8/03) and LETHAL (6/05), Shattuck provides another suspenseful, complex and totally entertaining story. All the interesting characters from previous books are included and the action is nonstop. Each book is better than the previous one, so I can't wait for Cally and Evan's next thrilling adventure.
