Under false pretenses, she is taken to an isolated retreat by a handsome stranger with a dazzling smile, suave demeanor, and the darkest of motives. Plus she persuades her niece to join her for the two weeks of luxury and decadence. At first she is resistant, but then figures it will be a welcome respite from the cutthroat advertising business, not to mention a networking extravaganza. Avery's workaholic aunt, Carolyn Salvetti, is certain her (hopefully soon-to-be ex) husband sent her the gold embossed reservation to the posh Utopia Spa in the mountains of Colorado. But soon she will have to use every one of her adroit skills on a case that hits painfully close to home. Her razor-sharp mind and ability to gather data and decipher evidence has made Avery an expert crime analyst for the FBI. This traumatic experience propels Avery into a life of law and order. The man responsible is serving time in a Florida prison. Then, when she was eleven, she witnessed her grandmother' violent death, before Avery herself was shot and left for dead. Abandoned by her rapacious, conniving mother when she was only three days old, Avery was raised by her grandmother and beloved aunt Carolyn. Killjoy Avery Delaney has always tried to put the past far behind her. Now, in this breathless new novel, Garwood has written her most electrifying thriller to date.
As her legion of fans can attest, she strikes the perfect balance between excitement and insight, action and heart. In the course of her career, she has mastered the art of creating characters who live and breathe in compelling, page-burning stories that never fail to surprise.
When it comes to gripping novels of unrelenting suspense, Julie Garwood is in a class by herself. FBI profiler Avery Delaney becomes involved in a case that hits all too close to home when her workaholic aunt Carolyn accepts the offer from her soon-to-be-ex-husband of a vacation sojourn at the posh Utopia Spa in the Colorado mountains, only to vanish mysteriously before reaching the spa.
