The "Pinewood Ladies" are living the life of luxury on their mountain top in Spain, but when the opportunity for them to return to the United States to help out some old friends -- even though there is a price on their heads in America -- they jump at it. It seems the Assistant Director of the FBI, Mitch Riley, is convinced that Judge Nellie Easter, Attorney Lizzie Fox, and Assistant District Attorney Jack Riley aided and abetted the Pinewood Vigilantes in their escape from D. C. Riley has assigned his task force, who all despise him, to bring these people in. Mr. Riley has files on these suspects, using information he has created himself, that will prove their guilt.
It is great fun to share in this eighth adventure of the Sisterhood. When they get done with Mitch Riley, he doesn't know if he's coming or going. Kudos to Fern Michaels for this superb series and the outstanding, fresh story lines of each one. While this is a stand alone read, it is strongly suggested that a new reader start with the beginning of this series in order to fully appreciate the author's talent, characterization, and imagination.
New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels
has created some of her most unforgettable characters
yet in the Sisterhood-seven fearless friends who know that
doing what's right sometimes means breaking all the rules.
Now the Ladies of Pinewood are facing a challenge that will
test their courage, their loyalty, and their talents as
never before-one where failure could mean losing their
freedom forever.
One stormy night years ago, the members of the Sisterhood
gathered at Myra Rutledge's Virginia estate to plan a
mission that would avenge one of their own. Since then,
Myra, Annie, Yoko, Alexis, Isabelle, Kathryn, and Nikki
have meted out justice to many more villains who believed
themselves above the law, and they've become national
heroines in the process. Still, payback has its price, and
the Sisterhood's last assignment brought them perilously
close to losing everything. Now the women are fugitives
with a price on their heads, but they're not planning on
hiding out for long-not when good friends need the kind of
help only they can give.
Mitch Riley, the ruthless assistant director of the FBI,
has targeted Cornelia "Nellie" Easter, the judge who helped
the Sisterhood evade prison, and their lawyer, Lizzie Fox.
Since the Sisterhood's escape, the Bureau has become a
laughingstock, and Riley intends to frame Nellie and Lizzie
to save his own career. He's created a special task force
to hunt the Sisterhood down, and to make matters even
trickier, their old nemeses, reporters Maggie Spritzer and
Ted Robinson, are also hot on their heels. If the
Sisterhood is caught, there'll be no one toprotect them
this time. Mitch Riley has the entire FBI behind him, but
the Sisterhood intends to prove that he's no match for a
group of formidable women with an unbreakable bond and a
wickedly cunning plan to bring the fight right to his door.
