Jessy and her husband are just days away from being moved to the witness relocation program, staying in a hotel with two police officers guarding them. But she's decided that her life and that of her husband shouldn't be changed, so she wants to find the people that have caused the problem in the first place.

Finding a killer might be the easy part, but finding Harlan, the man who started it all, is going to be a different story. With the help of her friend Mia, she sets out to find Harlan, but in doing so she might also end her life permanently...

I found this short story intriguing, even though unfortunately I've never read any of the others in the series and had no idea who anyone was (my loss!). Still, it had enough suspense and moments to draw you into the story easily. It was easy enough to follow everything Jessy did, and her stealth at getting away from the police and finding what she needed was enough to keep you reading. The writing was very good, and while there is sadness, there is also enticement about the beginning of something new for others.

All in all, this tale is well worth reading, but I suggest you go back and start with the beginning story; you won't be disappointed and you might find a new series to keep focused on. Recommended. ( )
