Library Journal Honor Gillette, the widow of a coastal Louisiana police officer, goes from frosting cupcakes to being held hostage when armed, accused murderer Lee Coburn invades the home where she lives with her four-year-old daughter, Emily. Lee says he's looking for something important that was kept by her late husband, but Honor can't imagine what it is or why a dangerous man like Lee wants something from her good cop husband. As her ordeal continues, Honor doesn't know whom to believe or trust but only that she needs to do whatever is necessary to keep Emily and herself alive. VERDICT Fast paced and full of surprises, this taut thriller, marking the author's return to Grand Central, features a large cast of superbly drawn characters and the perfect amounts of realistic dialog and descriptive prose. Brown (Tough Customer), who began her career writing romance novels, also adds palpable romantic tension to the proceedings. Public libraries should expect high demand.
