    About this audiobook

    Internationally bestselling author Alex Kava delivers a searing thriller of one woman's encounter with her past which could jeopardize her future

    Melanie Starks has never lived life by the rules. She and her seventeen-year-old son, Charlie, have been running one con job or another for as long as she can remember, justifying the petty crimes as the necessary survival moves of a single mother. But Melanie is ready to give it up. Then Jared Barnett reappears in her life. Fresh out of prison after serving five years of a life sentence for murder, Jared is released on a technicality that by no means proves his innocence. And he's feeling more invincible than ever. He has the perfect plan for a big score and he needs Melanie's help. But everything goes terribly wrong. Only one thing is clear: A line has been crossed. Suddenly there's no turning back, and there is nothing left to lose.

    "This is a one-night read with some unexplained loose ends that won't bother readers hooked on hair-raising car chases and gruesome murder scenes." - Publishers Weekly

      Although I don't normally read books like this, it somehow found its way into my hands and I sat down and read it. I was blown away. The story is fast-paced and everything ties together wonderfully. After fleeing a bank robbery gone wrong, the main characters end up at a writer's house, take him hostage, and continue life on the run leaving death and destruction behind every where they go. This book is full of action and has a suprise twist ending that makes the book even more worth reading.

      Had to read it--she's from here and this was a book based largely on an event that had recently occurred. It was fun to be able to picture exactly what Kava was talking about but a couple of times, I found errors which were offputting. Kava is not the best mystery writer but this one was good enough to keep me up late to finish it.

      Quick read,fast paced thriller. Was not sure where the ending was going but liked the way the author wrapped the story up. Familiarity with the geography of the area increased my enjoyment.
