Description
Sharon McCone is hired by her husband's security firm to track down the "ever-running man", who has been setting off explosive devices at their various offices. She doesn't have to look for long. When McCone narrowly escapes an explosion in her apartment building, she catches a glimpse of his retreating figure. The ever-running man is dangerously close—and it seems that anyone connected to the firm is within his deadly range. Complicating matters is McCone's discovery of the firm's shady past. Forced to question her reluctant husband Hy about its history of corruption, she puts her marriage in jeopardy. But uncovering the secrets of the firm may be the only way she can save her husband's life—and her own.
Praise
“Muller delivers the complete package, an absorbing mystery with a familiar and evolving cast and enough grit to give it satisfying substance.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The marital tensions, as well as the suspenseful plot and the scenic locations along the California coast, make this one a surefire hit with McCone’s many fans.” Booklist (starred review)
“Once again, Muller, who has authored twenty-four books in this series, has tied past actions to the present in an unusual way. Her main characters may have grown more affluent, but they are also more understanding of human failings; as Muller illustrates perfectly, age brings wisdom.” Library Journal
