When it comes to gripping novels of unrelenting suspense, Julie
Garwood is in a class by herself. In the course of her career, she
has mastered the art of creating characters who live and breathe in
compelling, page-burning stories that never fail to surprise. As
her legion of fans can attest, she strikes the perfect balance
between excitement and insight, action and heart. Now, in this
breathless new novel, Garwood has written her most electrifying
thriller to date.
Avery Delaney has always tried to put the past far behind her.
Abandoned by her rapacious, conniving mother when she was only
three days old, Avery was raised by her grandmother and beloved
aunt Carolyn. Then, when she was eleven, she witnessed her
grandmother’s violent death, before Avery herself was shot and left
for dead. Miraculously she survived. The man responsible is serving
time in a Florida prison. This traumatic experience propels Avery
into a life of law and order.
Her razor-sharp mind and ability to gather data and decipher
evidence has made Avery an expert crime analyst for the FBI. But
soon she will have to use every one of her adroit skills on a case
that hits painfully close to home.
Avery’s workaholic aunt, Carolyn Salvetti, is certain her
hopefully soon-to-be ex husband sent her the gold embossed
reservation to the posh Utopia Spa in the mountains of Colorado. At
first she is resistant, but then figures it will be a welcome
respite from the cutthroat advertising business, not to mention a
networking extravaganza. Plus she persuades her niece to join her
for the two weeks of luxury and decadence.
But Carolyn never makes it to Utopia. Under false pretenses, she
is taken to an isolated retreat by a handsome stranger with a
dazzling smile, suave demeanor, and the darkest of motives. His
name is Monk, a hired assassin. Now, with scant clues and fewer
resources, Avery must track down and save Carolyn—and outmaneuver a
brilliant killer who is part of an elaborate plot of madness and
lethal vengeance.
