Internationally bestselling author Alex Kava delivers a searing thriller of 1 woman’s encounter with her earlier that could jeopardize her future

Melanie Starks has never lived life by the guidelines. She and her seventeen-year-old child, Charlie, have been running one con job or another for so long as she can remember, justifying the petty crimes as the necessary survival moves of an individual mother. But Melanie is preparing to give it up. Then Jared Barnett reappears in her lifestyle. Fresh new out of jail after portion five years of a life phrase for murder, Jared can be released on a technicality that by no means proves his innocence. And he’s feeling more invincible than ever. He gets the perfect plan for a big score and he needs Melanie’s help. But everything will go terribly wrong. Only 1 thing is obvious: A line has been crossed. Suddenly there is no turning back again, and there is nothing left to lose.

‘This is a one-night read with some unexplained loose ends that will not bother readers addicted to hair-raising car chases and gruesome murder scenes.’ – Publishers Weekly
