"exciting action-packed romantic private investigative thriller"
Wealthy Calvin Hunter flies his nephew Adam to his villa
on the Greek Isle of Siros in a private plane because he
needs to speak with him. Calvin, who has such limited
ties with his San Diego family members that he did not
even attend his half-brother's funeral, informs Adam that
if he dies, he is to investigate the cause. Adam, a
former cop turned private investigator, agrees though the
request seems odd as his uncle explains nothing further. Two months later Adam learns his Uncle Calvin died so
unable to accept coincidence; he begins inquiries into the
death. Whitney Marshall takes over her missing cousin
Miranda's dog caring duties which include living in a
caretaker cottage on Calvin's estate in San Diego. When
her new abode is bombed, Adam and she assume her cousin is
the target and there is a tie to the late Calvin and his
money, but nothing except the canines linking anyone.
Adam vows to keep the woman he is falling in love with
safe and learn who killed his uncle as he believes a
murder occurred and that same person is responsible for
the caretaker cottage bombing. KISS OF DEATH is an exciting action-packed romantic
private investigative thriller starring two likable
believable protagonists who with every step together fall
deep in love and even deeper in danger from an
unidentified adversary for unknown reasons except the
unclear nebulous connection to Calvin. The story line
grips the audience from the opening line of "Adam Hunter,
You're dead" and never slows down through several
intriguing twists including canine capers until the final
confrontation. Meryl Sawyer further cements her growing
reputation as one of top guns of romantic suspense (see
HALF PAST DEAD). Harriet Klausner
