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.
She may be super-rich and drop-dead gorgeous, but Los
Angeles socialite Callaway Wilde can be as insecure as any
girl about her man's love. Saying yes to a marriage
proposal from sexy detective Evan Paley was a leap of
faith for Cally, who has been pursued by many -- and
almost killed on occasion -- for her money. When her
fiancé disappears, Cally fears he's left her high and dry.
Turns out she's right, but for the wrong reasons: he's
been kidnapped.
Is he an accessory to a crime?
It started with a mysterious phone call that pulls Evan
away from a little one-on-one time with Cally. Evan
refuses to identify the caller -- a woman in distress --
which brings Cally down to earth fast. What secrets could
he be keeping? Big ones, apparently: a dead body soon
turns up in Evan's house, and Evan has vanished. On a
heart-pounding race to find him, Cally follows a trail of
clues to cold-blooded murder and deadly corruption -- and
may uncover more than she bargained for about the man she
thought she knew.
