Saving the child wasn't on Dee's bucket list. It might be the only thing if the bad guys find her. The FBI want to find her, too, but the rights and wrongs of it aren't so obvious... A compulsive and original crime-thriller. "If you love a good mystery with some WOW! moments, you need to read this book."
No superhero, Dee is an unintentional heroine. Her feisty character and crusty sense of humor, bring an original voice to a character-led story as she finds an inner strength even she hadn't known about. She didn't want to be brave. She isn't heroine material, after all. Reluctantly saving an unknown child isn't on her list of things to do before she dies. but now, if the bad guys find her, it might end up being the only thing on her bucket list.
You dislike Deirdre, and admire her, but would you want to be in her shoes? As her nice, ordered life spirals out of control, she discovers a new meaning to even having a future...
*This work contains no explicit detail of harm.*
The work has been awarded the B.R.A.G. Medallion for recognition of high standard in an independently published work.
- Chris Lewando’s fiction makes us face our imperfections, our humanity, our compassion, and what’s important in life…
- Wonderful, brave characters: Dad, Deidre, Greg, Amy, Kev; the peripherals shine as bright as the main characters.
- It’s brilliant! Clever ending. I was cursing the author for stopping! It feels like a TV Netflix series the whole way through. There MUST be a sequel planned...
Genre: Mystery
