When Honor Gillette runs to rescue an injured man in her backyard, she sets in motion a series of events that will test everything and everyone she's loved and trusted in her life. The man, Lee Coburn, is on the run after being involved in a warehouse massacre the previous night. To make matters worse, he's the one accused of killing the seven people. Armed and dangerous, Lee promises Honor that as long as she does what he says, no harm will come to her or her 4-year-old daughter. With no other recourse, she agrees. But why does Coburn think that Honor's late husband, a cop, hid important evidence that could help his case? Tearing and searching through everything in her home, Coburn has to also make sure he stays ahead of his pursuers while keeping Honor and her daughter by his side.

On the run with Coburn, who's not what he first seemed, Honor soon comes to understand and accept the fact that he is telling the truth about the situation and that she and her daughter are in grave danger from people she's trusted all her life. But will they live long enough to see justice done?

Sandra Brown writes an exhilarating, fast-paced thriller you won't be able to put down until the explosive conclusion. LETHAL is fraught with tension, suspense and nail-biting twists and turns. I highly recommend this one.
