Produktbeschreibung
Charlie Eliasson has spent her life tackling one bizarre situation after another, the product of growing up wild in the jungle with a pack of equally wild siblings. Now living back in the U.S., her life is finally somewhat normal. She's nearly finished her Masters degree, has a good job, and spends her days in a comfortable rhythm. Her quiet life, however, is upended when the job she loves throws something in her path that will make her choose between the easy road, or the high road. Read: The smart road, or the dangerous road. The really, really dangerous road. Tossed into the middle of international intrigue, Charlie finds her life and the lives of those around her hanging in the balance as she races to unravel the tangled mystery, solve the crime, and bag a few arrests. The only question is, who will be left standing when the dust settles?
Autorenporträt
Nic Tompkins is a native Arizonan, born and bred, though in the middle of that were a lot of years living on a ranch in Nebraska. When she wasn't running wild in the desert, she was driving cattle across the Great Plains on an ATV. With countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings, she has been immersed in crazy life stories since before she can remember, and sometimes loses track if they were hers or somebody else's. All that wide-open nature and yarn-spinning sparked an imagination that never shuts down, and the only way to deal with that is to do the opposite: let it run and see where it goes. That's how anyone gets anywhere interesting, anyway. As a result of this, books are born and their characters are spontaneously added into conversations with real life people, which causes no end of confusion.Nic also has a lot of real life experience and a whole bunch of higher education, but tends to get lost in books and the great outdoors, so who knows if they actually do her any good.
