Book Summary of Nightshade
Some of the stuff they want us to do for the cameras gives me the creeps. I think they killed one of the girls, so I am getting out before they kill me.' So reads the chilling letter which sends Cole Nightshade on a private quest for justice. A teenage runaway is caught up in a seedy, terrifying underworld. Coereced into making sadistic films which end in violence, even death, Liz is in greater danger than she knows. Colt needs help and is forced to turn to the cops. Partnered with Lieutenant Althea Grayson, the two become an impressive team. But the clock is ticking for Liz and the trail is going cold. Can Colt and Althea find her before she winds up dead? Passion. Power. Suspense. It's time to fall under the spell of Nora Roberts.
