She's a cop turned defense lawyer; her husband a research scientist. She lives in a half-million-dollar home. Yet on this night, Andrea Wilson—a woman who seemingly has everything—awakens to a living nightmare. Her husband Paul is dead, she's covered in his blood, and the police are banging on her door. Andrea doesn't remember what happened, but she knows how it looks. With just a split second to make a choice, Andrea decides to run, and in doing so risks everything in an attempt to clear her name.

Enter Detective Mike Coletti. He and Andrea shared a relationship once; now all they share is the chase. As Andrea races to prove her innocence and Coletti struggles to track her down, each uncovers clues about the mystery of Paul's death, and along the way, Andrea finds the answer to the biggest question of all: is her husband actually still alive?

      Jones's third Mike Coletti crime novel (after 2011's The Gravedigger's Ball) explodes with a drug-related cop killing, relentlessly piles up body after body around former policewoman now Philadelphia D.A. Andrea Wilson, but deflates rapidly in a welter of lame characterizations and awkward, overheated prose ("Her lithe physique was accented by taut calves peering out from a fitted skirt, and as she paced the floor in a plunging silk blouse that fluttered when she moved, she was energy itself, beautiful and powerful at the same time"). Andrea, unhappily married to research scientist Paul Wilson and carrying on a noontime affair with her courtroom opponent, awakens one night believing that she has killed Paul and flees, covered in blood. She still has the power to make her old detective flame, 58-year-old Coletti, improbably "dizzy with desire" as he pursues the real culprits. Alas, Andrea's reckless rush to jailhouse redemption fails to persuade, due to mawkish dialogue, creaky scenery, and tired clichés. Agent: Jill Marr, Sandra Dijkstra Literary.
