Dru Rayne und ihr Onkel flohen vor dem Hurrikane Kathrina nach Los Angeles. Nun, fünf Jahre später müssen sie einer neuen Gefahr ins Auge blicken. Als Joe Pike Zeuge eines Bandenangriffs auf Drus Onkel wird, bietet er seine Hilfe an, doch beide lehnen jeglichen Beistand ab. Jemand aus ihrer Vergangenheit hat sie gefunden und er will sie tot sehen, nur warum? Wer sind die beiden wirklich und warum suchen sie sich keine Hilfe?
Private investigators Joe Pike and Elvis Cole get double-crossed in this twisty, gripping New York Times bestseller that will have readers on the edge of their seats.
When gangbangers shake down the modest owner of a Los Angeles eatery, Joe Pike intervenes. For all intents and purposes, Pike saved Wilson Smith's life. But for reasons of their own, Smith and his lovely niece, Dru, are curiously resentful. It's only when Pike's feelings for the woman deepen that he and his partner, Elvis Cole, discover that Dru and her uncle are not at all who they seem, and everything Pike has learned about them is a lie. But it's much more than a deception. It's a trap. And with every new twist it's proving to be a killer.
