In KENTUCKY WOMAN, an infant, Ellie Stuart, is adopted by a poor, but loving couple in Kentucky. When she's sixteen, they die leaving her alone. In college Ellie searches for her biological parents with the help of law student, Quinn Parker. But there's a problem. A man is trying to kill her. Then they discover why. Ellie might be daughter of a wealthy man who died with no heirs. But even after several valid DNA tests prove she cannot possibly be his daughter―the man is still trying to kill her, and she and Quinn have to run for their lives.

Mike Brogan is the Writer’s Digest award-winning author of BUSINESS TO KILL FOR, “the equal of any thriller read in recent years...” He spent years in the crazy Mad Men ad world and won numerous awards. In London, he experienced terrorism up close... sixty feet close. Which led to his award-wining thrillers DEAD AIR and G8.
I can’t remember the last time I got so much fun out of a book as I have from Mike Brogan’s KENTUCKY WOMAN. The story invokes scintillating memories of Nick and Nora Charles, cutting-edge genetic technology, and black-hearted villains. The Kentucky Derby is worth the price of the book all on its own.
(Loren D. Estleman, four-time Shamus Award Winner 2016-02-25)Beautiful Ellie Stuart is in a lot of trouble. Mike Brogan put her there. As one of Detroit’s best suspense writers, he writes with the economy of fellow Detroiter, the late Elmore Leonard. Like Dutch, Brogan writes page turners that grab the reader from the opening chapter and don’t let go. KENTUCKY WOMAN is his best so far.
(Phil Rosette, The Freya Project, Seoul Legacy 2016-02-25)Who’s trying to kill Ellie ... and why? Just about the time you think you know ― uh-oh―a new twist! Brogan’s signature skills with plot and tension keep you intrigued right up to the end of KENTUCKY WOMAN. You’ll feel every delicious minute of Ellie’s frustration and fear but, trust me, you will not figure this one out!
