In glitzy Lake Tahoe, couples break up every day. But few are as successful as Lindy and Mike Markov, who built a $200-million business together-before MIke took up with a younger woman. Now he's claiming he doesn't owe Lindy a dime since they never married. Attorney Nina Reilly, struggling to make a living in her one-woman office and raise a young son alone, agrees to take Lindy's case. Nina knows winning is a long shot, even with a brilliant jury consultant and a palimony expert on her side. It's the kind of case-full of passion and explosive secrets-that could make a fortune for a young lawyer. Or drive someone to commit murder-for love, money....or the right verdict.

Not since Joseph Wambaugh's bestselling The Onion Field has there been a true police story as fascinating, as totally gripping as ...Lines and Shadows. The media hailed them as heroes. Others denounced them as lawless renegades. A squad of tough cops called the Border Crime Task Force. A commando team sent to patrol the snake-infested no-man's land south of San Diego. Not to apprehend the thousands of illegal aliens slipping into the U.S., but to stop the ruthless bandits who preyed on them nightly--relentlessly robbing, raping and murdering defenseless men, women and children.

The task force plan was simple. They would disguise themselves as illegal aliens. They would confront the murderous shadows of the night. Yet each time they walked into the violint blackness along the border, they came closer to another boundary line--a fragile line within each man. And crossing it mant destroying their sanity and their lives.

A young man lay sprawled on the carpet, the phone clenched in his fist...his call for help strangled by a lethal dose of POISON. The gorgeous blonde had lips that begged to be kissed and a body that no one could refues. But to the men who had loved her till death did them part, she was pure POISON. The homicide cop had broken a cardinal rule: never get involved...or in bed...with a suspect. Now his obsession could land him in the morgue--unless he discoverd whether the heart-stopping beauty was a lady--or a femme fatale with a passion for POISON.
