When Buddy hires Sunny Randall to protect his rising star and girlfriend, Erin Flint, Sunny knows from the start that the prickly, spoiled beauty won't make her job easy. And when Erin's sister; Misty, is found dead in the lavish home they share with sugár daddy Bollen, there doesn't seem to be a single lead worth pursuing.

(Continued from front flap) and Sunny have much in common. While searching for the killer, they learn an awful lot about each other-and themselves. II' 1 Tracking Misty's murderer reveals a host of seedy complications behind Erin's glamorous lifestyle as well as Buddy Bollen's entertainment empire, made up of shady film deals and mobsters out for revenge.

He lives in Boston. Vissza
