"An engaging story that kept me riveted....."

Sheriff Bacon and his deputy, find a woman wandering in the woods. A phone call tips the lawmen to an area in the back country where an explosion was to have taken place. No evidence is found but the young lady, soon called Honey, is worse for wear and suffering a bout of amnesia. Days later, Kirk Stanton identifies her as Renate, his long lost daughter. Mere days after he takes her home, everyone that had anything to do with her in the sleepy town, winds up dead.

Across the country, Hector Garcia is struggling to put the pieces of his life back together. A set up from day one, he sets out to find out who is behind his character assassination.

Two lives, seemingly on separate paths, meet and Renate and Hector, with the help of friends, begin to unravel the web of lies and deceit they both find themselves paralyzed in. Not everyone is who they claim and once Renate's memories return, the truth sets them free. They realize no once can be trusted, except each other and the budding love between them can prevail only after their enemies have met their fate.

Laurence Hutner writes a gripping tale of deception and greed. Multifarious characterizations, an intricate plot and suspense that propelled the story forward made this story impossible to put down. Hutner can be likened to Clancy or Ludlum any day. I found myself completely engrossed in the riveting words of this first time author. A definite must read.
