Produktbeschreibung

After recognizing a killer at the law office where she is employed, Jen is on the run from Vancouver, British Columbia, to the Interior city of Kelowna. BC. There, she hopes to hide out and stay alive long enough to come up with a survival plan. Her friend, Constance, runs the local contemporary art gallery, and Constance is busy getting ready for the opening of environmental artist, Matt Collier's newest show. As if Collier's opening wasn't keeping her busy enough, Constance's boss saddles her with Chad Jones, a new gallery intern. Every time Constance is in proximity with the ruggedly attractive newcomer, it's not art that is on her mind. Even without the attraction she's struggling to control, Chad's arrival complicates an already stressful time for Constance, because Matt Collier's show is probably the most important moment of her career. Having Collier at the gallery is a coup, even if it means dealing with protestors on the doorstep and death threats on the phone, and Constance needs to keep her mind on the work at hand. When a local community patrol officer discovers the body of a badly beaten woman with ties to solar energy behind the gallery, local police worry there might be a connection to Collier's opening. When the resemblance between the dead woman and Constance are observed, authorities wonder if the death was a case of mistaken identity. Was Constance the killer's intended target? The Canadian art scene and pipeline debate collide in this novella, and lives are forever changed. Smoke keeps readerts glued to the page, desperate to know what happens next.

Autorenporträt

Leigh Macfarlane is a proud Canadian (eh!) author of both fiction and non-fiction books who is fortunate enough to live in California North -- the gorgeous Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Since Leigh already lives in one of the most beautiful places in the world, many of her novels are set locally. In Leigh's books you will be transported to orchards, vineyards, ski hills, ranches, beaches, art galleries, athletic fields and waterfront cafes.

Well, maybe not ski hills. Rumour has it Leigh is afraid to drive in the snow.

Where heroes are concerned, I love me a cowboy, or a guy who can fix a car, a fearless protector type, or a studious professor with a sharp mind, the soft touch daddy, or a hard-body with a soft-heart. Sometimes I love me a bad boy, but I'm working on it. Just as long as he is good to his woman and cares about the world around him, I'm in.

My heroines might be clutzy, or chubby, still figuring life out, or they might just have swollen bank accounts and be living the high life. Either way, my ladies are real women who appreciate life, laughter, beauty, family, puppies, chocolate, and especially the love of a strong man.

When not writing, Leigh is mom to four wonderful, not so small, humans, one yap-monster dog, a gorgeous but aging cat and a fish whose quality of life appears to be declining. Once, Leigh fell off a horse, wrapped the back of her knee around a telephone pole, had horse liniment applied to her injury, and was proclaimed part horse by the race horse trainer who had fixed her up. To date, this claim has not been proven false.
