Drowning in Air

Blood. All over her hands. And Eva Keller doesn't know how it got there or whose it is. Or how she got to a gas station in downtown Washington, D.C., in the middle of the night with no car. The last 32 hours of her life are a complete blank. And the man she remembers going to meet is missing.

When she arrives home late that night, she finds ruggedly handsome police officer Simon Talbot waiting for her. She has no idea who he is or why she feels such a strong connection to him, but he certainly seems to remember her. Can she trust him?

Fifteen years ago, Eva watched helplessly as her teenaged boyfriend died in her arms, the victim of a drive-by shooting spree that took the lives of eight people one August evening. That event shaped her life and left her damaged. Now a successful documentary filmmaker, Eva has only one goal: to prove on film that Luther Isaacs, a petty thief just released from prison, was the killer.

But someone is trying to kill Eva and will stop at nothing to keep her from proving who killed those eight people.

Drowning in Air is a taut romantic thriller, filled with twists and turns. It’s a story of strength, survival, determination, love, danger, and, ultimately, redemption.
