Product Description

Product Description
When journalist Kevin Burns gets a call from former schoolmate Carl Greene, he's surprised. They weren't that close at school and the temperature cooled when Carl married Kevin's girl, Lucy. Carl, a scientist, sounds anxious, afraid. They arrange to meet at the baseball game in Denver but Carl never makes it. Someone kills him first. Soon after, Lucy surprises a masked figure prowling Carl's study. Whatever her husband was working on, a lot of people want to get their hands on it. Some are clearly prepared to kill for it, though not the prowler who, it turns out, is a woman with a quite different agenda ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Thi is a powerful book, which I could not put down., 2 Jan 2003
By Ms. E. Hayes (Leicestershie) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shot (Paperback)
When Carl Greene is shot to death, Lucy Greene finds herself catapulted into a rollacoaster of events.

On the day of her husbands funeral she is contacted by an old school mate Kevin Burns, a journalist who says that Carl had requested an urgent meeting just the day before his death. Wanting just to be left alone, Lucy blanks him, but then she disturbs an intruder in Carl's office, and then people from his company turn up to take away his papers, and gradually Lucy becomes aware that there are people out there who want something that Carl had, and now they think that she has it.

Forming an uneasy alliance with a female burglar Darcy, who has her own agenda, to protect her sister, the three set out to uncover the secrets for which Carl died. To escape a contract killer they travel from Denver through Wyoming and into Montana where they stay at a retreat run by some friends of Darcy's. But it seems there is no place for them to hide, and their only chance is to unmask the truth behind the company for which Carl worked, the Bioflux Corporation.

This is a powerful book, which I could not put down. The pace grips you and holds on, even through there are periods of introspection, these provide a background to the characters that make them very believable.
