Summary: 5 Stars
When Joey Sapphire, who lives on a sailboat in the Caribbean, wakes up next to a dead man, she knows she's in trouble. She's in Trinidad, a country that hangs murderers, she's afraid, so she drags the body up on deck, weighs it down and drops it overboard. She has no memory of going to bed with the dead man, doesn't know who he is. She must have been drugged. She wishes her husband Mick had never gone home to America to spend Christmas with his parents.
When Nina Brava, a young woman who owns part of an internet café in a Brazilian seaside town, learns that the American who got her pregnant has come back, she is happy beyond belief. But when her lover is attacked and flees, leaving her alone with the attacker, she is devastated. What kind of man runs out on his woman in those kind of circumstances.
Unknown to Nina, her runaway lover is none other that Joey's husband Mick. Mick is blackmailing Suzi Walcott, the daughter of the President of the United States and is on the run from the ex-CIA men the American First Lady has put on his trail. Now with him gone, Nina and Joey are the only link they have to the blackmailer and the goods he has on Suzi. The two young woman are nothing more than victims of a double-dealing, slimy, two-timing crud, but the CIA toughs don't know this and they are out for blood, leaving two innocent young women running scared.
When I find a author I like, I tend to read five or six books by him or her before moving on to something else. I just finished five in a row by Elizabeth Lowell, ending with her very Good RUNNING SCARED, so when I saw this book with the same title, I was intrigued. I bought it at the same time I did Ms. Lowell's, read hers, then Mr. Douglas's. Now I'm going to go onto a couple more by Mr. Douglas. He writes with attention, flair and a fast-paced style that I like and I think you'll like it too.
