Romeo's World (Mike Romeo Thrillers)

She closed her eyes and said, “This is hell.” “Far from it,” I said. “No torments here, just people who want to help you. I work for one of the best lawyers in the city. He can straighten out any tangle you’re in.” “Who said anything about a tangle?” “What I meant was—” “Forget it,” she said. “You’re very nice people. So I need to tell you, don’t get involved with me. It’s best you don’t know anything. I don’t want to go into it any further, okay?” Mike Romeo just wanted a quiet morning of volleyball on the sands of Paradise Cove. But when a light plane plunges into the Pacific, he fights the chop to rescue a woman from the cockpit. She will not give her identity, and begs Mike to take her to a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. Where she disappears into the night. When Mike tries to find her again, he runs head-on into a web of murder, money, and betrayal—with a target on his back. Which means the killers have crossed the line into Romeo’s world. It will not be a pleasant journey. Another un-put-downable entry in the series that is “sharp as a switchblade.” (#1 NYT bestselling author Meg Gardiner)
