OOH! Nasty! Tess Marlowe is a witness to a murder in her building. She is 5'4" to his 6'something? not on the cover...... Ah well, in comes the Atlanta police - the FBI - the U.S. Marshall's service and the U.S. Attorney's assistant. How many times does she have to tell her story? Deacon Ramsey had been playing poker with Thad McNally, an FBI agent. Deke has seen many bodies in his 16 years of with the U.S. Marshall's office and plenty more in Vietnam. Everyone wanted to nail Anthony Giamo, big time racketeer. They needed Tess's testimony yet no one told her about the possibility of relocating. Julia Billings, top prosecutor, sent her assistant Frank Harris to interview Tess and they decided that she did not need protection. Oh boy! Scott Rowan, Deke's boss sent him to pick up Tess and deliver her to a "safe" house after they found a second witness dead. Deke didn't need this, not after Angela. Scott ordered Deke to the "safe house" and wouldn't you know, it got hit by some gunmen. So Deke and Tess went on the run. He's 42 and divorced, she is 35 and divorced. Huh! He means to stay single, she just wants an affair. A lot of interesting details that lead up to nailing Giamo. A bit of danger. A bit of sex? Recommended --M - Excellently told story - great characters - slowed down a bit when they concentrated on themselves. Ah well! Now onto Thad's story [#2]
