A young woman is found buried in the Oklahoma sand dunes - and
she's alive. FBI agent Seth Hawkins was just taking some
time out on his dirt bike, but now he's involved in
something major. Because this girl wasn't the first to be
attacked - and the others didn't survive. Recovering, the
traumatised girl can't remember her name or what happened,
and nobody recognises her. She's given a guest room in the
house where Seth is staying with his sister and the
investigators hope she'll be able to help them later.
DEADMAN'S BLUFF follows Seth as he marshals the
resources available and tries to track down, not just the
attacker, but the surviving girl's identity. Because the
killer will want to strike another woman, and he may see
the one who got away as a threat who could get him caught.
Eventually the girl comes up with her name - Tamara.
Protecting a material witness is one thing, but Seth finds
himself responding to Tamara on a personal basis, despite
the fact that he's resigned to doing without romance and
the fact that it's inappropriate while working her case.
The local media have given the killer the name of the
Sandman and everyone in town begins to suspect everyone
else.
Carla Cassidy has done a good job of portraying the
fragility but resilience of the survivor and the detailed
work of investigation. With three cases open for the agent,
connections start to build and even family members need to
be questioned. We find ourselves guessing, picking
favourites, joining the dots. Crime fans will get hold of
DEADMAN'S BLUFF and be determined to solve the mystery
by themselves.
FBI agent Seth Hawkins was on a
mission to catch a serial killer. Yet his only lead—a
mysterious azure-eyed beauty found buried alive in the local
sand dunes—had no memory of how she'd been abducted. Or
anything else about her identity.
The only thing
Tamara Jennings knew for sure was the undeniable attraction
she felt for the strong, handsome man who saved her life. It
wasn't long before their passion flared out of control. But
as memories of her forgotten past returned, would they lead
her to the killer—and to a life she could share with Seth?
