Description:

A Joan Kahn-Harper novel of suspense.
A married woman visiting her lover witnesses a crime outside the window.
She couldn't possibly go to the police, could she?
But then ...
This is a tense, highly suspenseful, compelling tale.
Don't start to read it if you have an appointment you have to keep before you finish.

If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing ... then you are a writer.

- Rainer Maria Rilke.
