Synopsis

A New York Times Bestselling Author

For Nina Reilly, the mountain town of Lake Tahoe is home. Back from a stint in Monterey, where her love life took a tumble, Nina has returned to her Tahoe law office with her old friends Sandy Whitefeather and Sandy's son, Wish. It isn't long before she has a new client whose wife was shot and killed during a casino-district robbery two years before. The police have no suspects, and the robbery victims lied about their identities and are hiding outside California. Two of the witnesses have fled to a village not far from the home of her son's father, Kurt Scott, in Germany. As Nina tries to unravel the mystery of one violent Tahoe night, a harrowing journey begins - one that takes her from the dark underworld of Tahoe's casinos to the halls of a prestigious East Coast university to Europe and an emotional reunion with Kurt.

Mary is a former editor and writer for multimedia projects.
