Jessica Taylor Suspense Thrillers

Jessica has a few balls to juggle, both at home and at work, as her personal life unravels in the spring of 2016. To put some order to the chaos and with the help of her best friend, a bowl of noodles, and a second bottle of Pinot, Jessica writes another list - a plan for her future. The list becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, safely folded into her journal, as she romps across Europe and beyond, to the backdrop of the unfolding Turkish military coup.

People are seldom who they seem—keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Jessica has no intention of returning to Turkey after her previous brush with the law, but circumstances conspire to dilute her resolve. Her friend, and senior colleague, calls in some favors. An old dalliance makes a welcome appearance. And her husband sidles up to his attractive colleague. Against the backdrop of the real-life shooting down of a Russian jet fighter on the Turkish-Syrian border, and the many infighting groups involved in the ongoing Syrian Civil War, Jessica charges in.

People are seldom who they seem. Even Indian summers turn to winter. Jessica accepts a work assignment to India, far away from her husband, as she works through recent trauma and evaluates their marriage. A young work colleague catches her eye, a dashing hotel concierge wraps a protective arm around her shoulder, and she forms a close friendship with the au pair staying in the adjacent hotel room. A horrendous crime of international significance occurs behind locked doors.
