Stay up late tonight reading (and chuckling).
When Nora Sheldon's husband is kidnapped while they're on their honeymoon, all her hopes and plans tumble into a nightmare. Then the FBI comes knocking. Turns out Nora doesn't know Skip as well as she thought she did, and the feds are equally anxious about his fate. Not to mention they sure did a shoddy job of keeping him under surveillance.
But Nora has an advantage. She's not bound by the rules and procedures the government agents have sworn to uphold. She took no oath of office except her wedding vows. So she's going to poke and prod and irritate and hound the mobster enemies she's acquired through matrimony until she gets answers.
She doesn't have a lot left to lose—until she has everything to lose.
Because the place she seeks refuge, the one place where she might have some breathing space for plotting her guerrilla campaign against the Mafia, that abandoned poor farm out on the edge of the Dark Divide in Washington State—it also houses a ragtag camp for outcast boys. Boys who are dependent on her husband's ill-gotten money for their very survival.
She's down one husband, but she just got a family.
And now it's a race—to figure out what Skip knew and what he did with that knowledge before the FBI acts on their open suspicion that she was complicit in his masterful con. All while trying to elude the top organized crime bosses on the West Coast, because they can get downright cranky about their money disappearing.
The Mayfield Mystery Series is best enjoyed in order. The books were written as installments (like episodes of a television show). The overarching storyline progresses through each book, with twists and turns and plot elements revealed along the way. Fast-paced and riveting, with dashes of humor, the series is perfect for binge reading!
Sequence of the Mayfield Mystery Series:
1st--Bait & Switch
2nd--Grab & Go
3rd--Hide & Find
4th--Cash & Carry
5th (and final)--Tried & True
