I was really really sorry that I had accidentally read the sequel to this book (Stay) first! Knowing that a certain character is going to die took a significant something out of the experience... Still, this is an absorbing, exciting, and emotionally wrenching book...
Aud Torvingen, an ex-cop, is currently working as a self-defense instructor and bodyguard (her current client is seemingly a cinch - a diplomat's daughter who needs 'more of a babysitter than a bodyguard.' But, when she, by chance, comes across the scene of arson, and collides with a woman, mysteriously, running toward the burning house, she feels compelled to investigate... and finds herself drawn into a dangerous and treacherous web of crime spanning art fraud, money laundering, drug cartels and more... Unexpectedly, she also finds herself falling in love...
