KIRKUS REVIEW says about this book: The plot is appropriately twisty and has an authentic hard-boiled feel to it. Wilson provides us with four memorable characters and sets them down in a shadowy maze of obsession and betrayal where there is only one way out. Like the best noir, this story puts its characters through an emotional wringer and makes the reader feel their desperation, too. Synopsis: Wealthy land developer, Jay Stiles, must murder a business associate, or else his life and career will be destroyed. He hires a former cop, known around town as Streaker, to dispose of the body and cover his tracks. Mistakes are made that put both men in jeopardy of arrest, and their lives. Clueless about Jay’s dark side, Camille Carson thinks she’s in love with him until a new guy in town, named Matt Garrison, sets her straight. As the arrest of Jay and Streaker becomes imminent, Camille’s life is hanging in the balance. Police and Matt are in a race against time to save her.

Investigative reporter, Jamison Jackson, likes to go after the tough issues. She never backs away from a story that will expose greed and corruption. Tough minded and stubborn, Jamie takes risks and collects enemies along the way -- a consequence she accepts willingly. But when she is framed for murder, she is forced to go on the run to escape the killer who will do anything to retrieved something she might not even have. She must trust her former boyfriend, Homicide Detective Chris Lagoni, to clear her name, and the man she has fallen in love with, Brennan McKeever, to save her. But first, Brennan must find it in his heart to forgive her for a truth she buried behind her lying eyes.
On March 6, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt, less than forty-eight hours after becoming president, ordered the suspension of all banking facilities in the United States. How the nation had reached such a desperate situation and how it responded to the banking "holiday" are examined in this book, the first full-length study of the crisis. Although the 1920s had witnessed a wave of bank failures, the situation worsened after the 1929 stock market crash, and by the winter of 1932-1933, complete banking collapse threatened much of the nation. President Hoover's stopgap measures proved totally inadequate, the author shows, and by March 4, the day of Roosevelt's inauguration, thirty-four states had declared banking moratoriums. Of special interest in this study is Ms. Kennedy's examination of relations between Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
