Book Description
Taken By The Wind Charlotte Boyett-Compo Brenna Collins shouldn't have worked late that night. She was exhausted, had the migraine from hell slamming inside her head, and she was nowhere near being finished. While sitting alone at her desk, she hears what she realizes is gunfire in the hallway beyond her office. Going out to investigate when she believes the coast is clear, she finds her boss with a bullet hole between his eyes. If that isn't enough to scare Brenna's migraine away, a man shouting at her, chasing her to the elevator should be. Trapped in the elevator as the door tries to close, she finds herself looking into the eyes of the murderer-a man with killer good looks and a gun pointed straight at her heart. What begins is a complex cat and mouse game that has Brenna running for her life to Florida, to Georgia, to Upstate New York-all the while being pursued by a relentless killer who refuses to let her escape him. A master of disguise-so good even his mother wouldn't recognize him-the Gemini Killer will catch up to Brenna many times and he will make sure she never forgets him.
