She’s a runaway in pursuit of a better life. Instead, she ends up as a floater in the Pajaro River. She won’t be the last. Others will follow. The ones left behind will remain slaves, hardly daring to hope for relief. FBI agent Claudia must identify the dead woman, but after being in the water that long, the body yields few clues. But this Jane Doe has a name, and her sister can no longer wait for rescue. She needs to take the same risks and make her own escape.

Claudia and Baxter Cruise are mostly an item, and his work with drones is game-changing. He’s offered an amazing opportunity in robotics until a man threatens to reveal Baxter’s illicit past. When a bombing in San Francisco captures Claudia’s attention, a vehicle at the scene eventually leads to their lifeless Jane Doe. As Claudia and Baxter investigate, their own city is rocked by the bomber, and Baxter is accused of the heinous crime. Together they must clear Baxter’s name and catch a relentless psycho before more innocents are slaughtered. A captivating, intelligent thriller until the explosive end.

All my stories intersect, so your favorite characters in one novel may reappear in a completely different series. Mine is a single story world, where storylines and people cross into other lives. Consequently, my books could be read either by series or by the order in which they were written. If you enjoy my work, please tell your friends and leave a review. Your good opinion matters to me and encourages other readers to try my novels. I’d consider it a favor.

All the best,
Helen
