Book description
Evan Delaney, novelist and legal go-fer, is dressed as Diana Ross in
order to crash a fancy-dress party and serve a summons, when she hears
that Franklin Brand is back in town. Brand is the hit-and-run driver
who sentenced Evan's lover Jesse to life in a wheelchair, and killed
his best friend.
Since the accident, Brand has been avoiding justice overseas; but if
he's back Evan and Jesse are determined to get him, helped by the dead
boy's brother, Adam. Brand has been a high-flyer in Mako Technologies,
a cyber-security firm, and this is where Evan starts looking.
She quickly uncovers evidence that Brand was embezzling funds, and
that Adam's brother knew all about it. So maybe the hit-and-run wasn't
an accident at all? The policeman investigating is killed, and Adam
and Jesse both come under suspicion.
Matters are further complicated by the confused emotions of Jesse who
feels a survivor's guilt, and Adam who resents the fact that Jesse is
alive while his brother died.
But there are more corpses to come - including a near miss for Evan
herself - before the bad guys are finally brought to book.
