Dead End - Mariah Stewart

From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart comes a novel of sexy romantic suspense for fans of Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, and Karen Robards.

Bestselling author Mariah Stewart proved she can knock 'em dead with the best when
she delivered the resounding one-two-three punch of her suspense "thrillogy"-Dead
Wrong, Dead Certain, and Dead Even. Now, in her anticipated hardcover debut, she' s back to finish off this stunning series with her hottest shot yet.

Two years ago,
a major FBI undercover drug deal suddenly went south- and special agent Dylan Shields
went down in a hail of bullets. When the dust cleared, his fellow agent (and fiance)
Anne Marie McCall was left alone with too many unanswered questions and nothing to
do but hit the job as hard as she could to dull the pain. Only now is she beginning
to ease up on her punishing routine as a Bureau profiler and starting to let some
light in again. and. Detective Evan Crosby had a lot to do with drawing Annie back
into life, and she's not about to let her chance at happiness with him slip away.


But before she can embrace a bright new future, she must grapple with the dangerous
past whose demons of doubt and suspicion won't let her sleep at night . . . and whose
dead will never rest in peace until someone digs up the truth and deals out the payback.
That means going places where no one- including the FBI-wants Annie to be and cutting
through a minefield of smoke and mirrors, politics and intimidation, dirty tricks
and deadly threats, in order to make a cold case hot enough to get the right people
sweating. The harder Annie squeezes, the more blood, lies, and betrayal she wrings
out . . . and the closer she comes to connecting a face to the trigger finger that
blew away her dreams-and Dylan Shields. What she doesn't know is that the killer
she's closing in on is looking for closure too. The kind that only Annie's death
can bring.
