(Mass Market Paperback)
Dylan Saunders is attending a wedding in the mountains when a former lover appears out of nowhere, luring him into the woods, then leaving him there, drugged and disoriented. When he wakes, the woman has disappeared and Dylan is accused of her murder. Now he must rely on the help of a beautiful psychic haunted by her own dark past-and find the killer before the killer finds them...
Although this riveting thriller begins peacefully enough at a Lake Tahoe wedding, things quickly spin out of control when investigative reporter Dylan Sanders is lured into the forest and drugged by Erica Layton, one of his former informants. When he wakes the next morning, Erica is gone, and Dylan is a murder suspect. With the support of psychic Catherine Hilliard, he tries to make sense of it all. Yet, when Catherine is linked to him as an accomplice, the two begin to realize that they are being targeted by a clever villain they now must unmask if they want to stay alive. Chilling, suspenseful, and slightly paranormal, this tense adventure continues the story begun in Silent Run. Freethy, a best-selling author increasingly noted for her fast-paced, creative tales of romantic suspense, lives in the San Francisco area.

The story line is fast-paced and filled with action with a touch of the paranormal. Dylan is fabulous as a man in peril and his reluctant rescuer Sarah?s best friend is terrific. Although Dylan plays a major support role in SILENT RUN, Barbara Freethy?s excellent sequel can stand alone.--------------- Harriet Klausner
