"A fantastic suspense thriller."
In Santa Fe, high school Principal Steve Connor comes home
knowing something is not right with his wife. Steve's
daughter Liz agrees with her father something is off
kilter. Liz calls family friend DA Robert Adams who tells
her to come alone to his office. There Liz meets FBI
agents who inform her that her mother has been arrested
for the murder of two armored car guards during a hold up
thirty-four years ago; her real name is Sarah Jane
Maynard. The Feds want her three associates. Liz
believes they captured the wrong person, but her father
does not seem s shocked. In nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains, former Boston cop
Garrett Caleb Adams learns of the arrest of one of those
who killed his father thirty four years ago so he arrives
at FBI Headquarters in Albuquerque. He offers his
services to Liz saying he is writing a book on the armored
car robbery. Incidents occur to Sarah's family and
cohorts die, but she insists she is guilty and does not
want to see anyone again. Liz asks Cal to help them.
They fall in love, but he knows that once she learns the
truth, their relationship will end. This fast-paced investigative story line hooks the
audience once readers get over the shock that kindhearted
motherly Sarah Jane and her cohorts killed two armored car
guards including Cal's dad. The cast makes the tale
believable as the strong lead couple struggle to learn the
whole truth while a solid support in Boston, Chicago,
Kansas City as well as New Mexico enhance the tale.
Though many will believe that the "survivors" get off too
softly, fans will agree that Patricia Potter provides a
fantastic suspense thriller. Harriet Klausner
