    About this ebook

    Now that the killer was hunting him down, now that he was about to die, Neil wondered: Was Corinne worth dying for? She had lied to him, she had cheated him and been unfaithful to him. Now she had betrayed him. But Neil understood at last. He was as helpless against Corinne as he was against the bullets that were waiting for him.

      Brutal story of a man trying to help his ex-fiancee recover $200, 000 missing after her husband's death. Competently written by old pro Colby, but too many loose ends - such as why the husband died - and not much mystery, since halfway through he backtracks and tells you the story of how the husband came to have the money to begin with, turning the mystery into a suspense novel. Took me a while to figure out the meaning of the title after I finished this one, then realized it had to do with connecting hotel rooms.
