Romance author Zoe Swan has been separated from her husband for quite some time. While on the beach, she meets her new neighbor, an art history professor, and begins a brief but sizzling affair. But her new lover, turns out to be not what he seems-he has secrets-deadly secrets. Now Zoe is on the run with her ex-husband, accused of murder and trying to stay one step ahead of the FBI and the real killers.
This is a captivating fast-moving mystery. It has very well-developed, complex characters- who are not always who they appear to be. Just when I thought that I had the “who-done-it” figured out, I was proven wrong. A wonderful book-but don’t start reading it at bedtime-because you won’t be able to put it down.
A woman at a crossroads in life is beguiled by a charming stranger, but the stranger is keeping a lot of secrets. The cops come to her door and so do the feds. The man is not who Zoe Swan thought he was; worse, her place gets trashed.
Separated but not divorced, Zoe calls her estranged husband who comes down to the beach to set matters straight. But things don’t go straight, they go horribly wrong. Shots are fired. Zoe’s husband manages to extricate them from the dangerous situation, but they running makes them look even guiltier.
With nowhere to turn, they call the black sheep of the family, Paul Swan. Having lived a double life, Paul has the underground connections they don’t, connections that could either clear them or seal their fate as stone cold killers.
Iyer’s latest mystery/suspense novel is a pure delight to read. The characters and the settings felt so real, it was as if I was there. I rooted for Zoe to triumph throughout the story, and the resolution was satisfying. I’m a big fan, and I can’t wait for Iyer’s next book to come out.
Another wonderful read from Kindle Scout.

The beginning of this book seems like it's going to be some kind of steamy romance. Thankfully, it wasn't. There's more depth to the plot, with plenty of suspense and action as the Swans flee from the FBI and try to prove their innocence. At times, the dialog tends to be a bit long-winded when people are hashing out possible solutions to the art theft and in a few other places. The husband was quite the beast. The other characters were a bit more well-rounded. In all, an enjoyable read.
