GREAT READ - author has keen ear for dialogue and her intuitive characterizations consistently place her a cut above most writers in this genre. Elizabeth Lowell has long set a standard of excellence for thrillers that never stint on either romance or suspense. She brilliantly mingles danger, deception and desire to create a captivating story that is edgy, sexy and completely satisfying.

Jill Breck was just doing her job as a river guide when she saved the life of Lane Faroe, son of two of St. Kilda Consulting's premier operators. But when a string of ominous events, including a mysterious fire that kills her great aunt and a furor in the Western art world raised by a dozen Breck family paintings, culminates in a threat to her life, Jill reluctantly calls in a favor.

Zach Balfour works part time as a consultant for St. Kilda. His expertise is gathering and analyzing information from unlikely and often dangerous sources. Though he's got the skills to be a highly effective bodyguard, being a bullet catcher isn't his preferred way to spend time. Protecting Jill will take him into familiar territory, among a strange, savagely competitive bunch of collectors who will do anything to stay at the top. But Jill is in deeper waters than she has ever known; as she soon discovers, the perils of running wild rivers are tame compared with the hidden dangers in the high stakes game of art collecting.

From the cozy rooms of the Breck homestead cabin to the cold, multimillion dollar galleries of the Western art circuit, Zach and Jill must race against time to unmask a ruthless killer hidden in a blue smoke of money, threats, lies and death.
