Six years ago Wendy Harper was running for her life. Jack Till, an ex-cop turned private eye, helped her disappear. He did a very good job of it and even Jack has no idea where she might be. But now her ex-boyfriend and former business partner is being framed for her presumed murder in an effort to smoke her out. Jack must find her before a pair of hired assassins do. The assassins, a husband and wife team, are as sinister as they come, and when their shadowy employer looks like he is going to double-cross them, finishing the job is no longer enough...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Edgar-winner Perry (Pursuit) delivers another intelligent, literate thriller. Jack Till, a retired LAPD detective turned PI, has settled into a somewhat monastic existence, at the center of which is his 21-year-old daughter, Holly, who has Down syndrome. Six years earlier, Till helped restaurateur Wendy Harper escape from would-be assailants. Showing her the techniques the police use to track down fugitives, Till taught the woman to assume a new identity and begin a new life. When Harper disappeared, many assumed she was murdered. Now, years later, someone is trying to frame Eric Fuller, Harper's business partner and sometime boyfriend, for her murder. The only way for Till to prove Fuller's innocence is to produce Harper in the flesh, but first he has to find her and persuade her to come back while evading assassins Paul and Sylvie Turner, who have been hired to kill Harper when she resurfaces. As always, Perry excels at the procedural details, keeps up the pace throughout and will have readers guessing until the end. Author tour.
