A hunted fugitive, all River wants is the truth.
Michael “River” Corbett
Has been in a locked psych unit and heavily drugged since the murder of his pregnant wife. He can’t remember what truly happened that night, only waking on the ground outside his burning house, his clothes reeking of gas, an empty can beside him. Found not guilty by reason of insanity, he’s been locked up ever since. But now someone is trying to kill him, so he has to break out of the mental ward.
Cassandra “Jax” Jackson
She knows she’s putting her career on the line when she encounters this desperate stranger hiding out in the house that came with her new job, and doesn't turn him in.But there’s something in River's that convinces her to believe him. As the incoming police chief of Blackberry Vermont, she has a pretty conflict of interest. But when she looks at River, she doesn’t see a crazed killer on the run; she sees a fellow cop in trouble, and for the life of her, she can’t stop herself from helping him.
Dawn Jones
The daughter of criminally insane cult leader Mordecai Young, Jax's young friend is haunted by voices she doesn't want to hear and apparitions she doesn’t want to see. But she can no longer ignore the “gift” her twisted father passed to her before he died—because unless she listens to what the dead are telling her, Jax might be doomed to join them.
What people are saying…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Wow! What a great book. Maggie Shayne outdid herself. I laughed, was scared and I cried. The character, Jax is a no nonsense kick butt and take names kind of girl. She and River, her love interest, are a perfect pair. This book in my opinion should be rated a 10. Can't wait for the next book in this series.” ~ Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Can't beat the combination of suspense and Romance. However,some authors take it too far. Not Shayne who strikes just the right balance. Realistic plot and ending. I want to read more about these characters! 5 stars all the way.” ~ Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Another great read from Maggie Shayne. She cannot write them fast enough for me. Bring them on. I am currently reading Killing Me Softly and I don't want to put it down either.” ~ Reviewer

Look Inside Ch. 1
Look Inside Ch. 1
River sat on the floor in the room’s deepest corner, his back to the wall, his arms wrapped around his waist. He couldn’t move them. The straitjacket held them too tightly for that.
The room was white, its walls padded like the ones in the old Blackberry High School gymnasium. It didn’t smell like the gym, though. No mingling of hardwood floor polish and B.O. Here, the smell was a sickening combination of urine and bleach. Aside from that minor distraction, though, his mind was clouded in an almost pleasant fog, and yet turbulence kept surfacing from its depths.
Specific analysis was impossible at this point. He only knew he was in trouble. Terrible trouble. And that he had to do something or he was going to die.
So he sat there rocking and struggling to latch onto coherence, because he couldn’t do anything unless he could remember what it was he had to do.
Sounds brought his head up; the locks on his door were turning. He strained his eyes as the door swung open, and slowly managed to bring the man who entered into focus. Ethan. Thank God.
Ethan crossed the room, a gentle smile on his face. He hunkered down in front of River, his white coat spotless and almost too bright, his name tag pinned neatly to a pocket. Dr. E. Melrose, M.D. Chief of Psychiatry. He put a hand on River’s shoulder.
“How you doing, pal? Better?”
River shook his head slowly. “Worse,” he said. “Getting worse, Ethan.”
Ethan frowned, studying River’s face, staring into his eyes.
It made River think of when they were kids and they would stare at each other until one of them blinked. And then Ethan blinked and River laughed. “I win.”
“I’ll order more medication,” Ethan said.
“No!”
