Celebrating Romantic Suspense

THE GET LOST IN A STORY CREW SENDS OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO THE

CELEBRITY IN DEATHJ.D. ROBB


Penguin Group USA, PutnamLeslie Gelbman editor

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she's managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her famous cases. It's a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin.

Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building. Now she's at the center of a crime scene-and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster and step into the role she was born to play: cop.

She's having flashbacks and blackouts, hearing helicopter noises in the night. She wants to push Quinn away--and hold him closer than ever.

But will she get the chance? Those helicopters are more than just post-traumatic stress; they're real--and dangerous. Bad things are happening on the mountain. Suddenly there's a battle to be fought on the home front, and no guarantee of survival.
