| Perri O Shaughnessy Unabridged CD 11 Hours
For Nina Reilly, the mountain town of Lake Tahoe is home. It's where
she forged a successful career as a tough, resourceful attorney--and raised her
teenage son, Bob, alone. Back from a stint in Monterey, where her love
life took a tumble, Nina has returned to her Tahoe law office with her old
friends Sandy Whitefeather and Sandy's son, Wish. It isn't long before she
has a new client whose wife was shot and killed during a casino district robbery
two years before. The police have no suspects, and the robbery victims, three
students, lied about their identities and are hiding outside California and the
reach of the court.
Two of the witnesses have fled to a village not far from the home of Bob's
father, Kurt Scott, in Germany. As Nina tries to unravel the mystery of
one violent Tahoe night, a harrowing journey begins--one that takes her from the
dark underworld of Tahoe's casinos to the halls of a prestigious East Coast
university to Europe and an emotional reunion with Kurt. As old feelings
are rekindled, Nina's case turns violent. Everyone has something to
hide--the brilliant but unstable mathematics student who has made an astonishing
discovery, the owner of a motel where the shooting took place, and the shooter,
who has turned the whole case into a gigantic lie. |
