“An especially well-done story [with] characters who face difficult choices. Natalie realizes that if she flees to save
herself, a child will die. Her tightrope walk between a savvy child and danger capture the dangerous path she walks.
Cat-and-mouse games, sporadic gun battles, and narrow escapes will delight fans of intrigue, especially those who
seek ethical dilemmas in their crime read.” --

"There is no better place to begin a suspense-thriller than on the gritty streets of New Orleans, with Homicide
Detective Frank Renzi. His longtime adversary, Natalie, is in a real bind. In Venice, two Mafia brothers organized a
diamond heist, shot the owners and kidnapped their daughter. A Europol agent forces her to spy on them, acting as
the girl's nanny. When they wind up in New Orleans, Natalie is in a quandary. Will the Mafia gang kill the child?
Will she be the one they send to an early grave? Will Renzi apprehend her? Susan Fleet has featured these
characters before, and it's always a thrill.” -- Amy Lignor,

5-star reviews from readers
“From Italy to New Orleans, this intense thriller will take you on the ride of your life! Natalie is running for her life;
in Italy from mobster jewel thieves! NOPD Detective Frank Renzi wants to catch her in New Orleans. CIA Agent Clint
Hammer wants to torture her and kill her! It's not hard to feel empathy for the woman! The storyline is complex and
fast-moving! A very enjoyable read!” -- Amazon reader
“Love Detective Renzi, I read this book in less than 3 days. A fast paced, hard to put down mystery. Great characters, and since I live
in New Orleans, I enjoyed visualising places mentioned in the story. If you love fast paced, edge of your seat mysteries, you will enjoy
this book!” -- Amazon reader CCH
More than Just Five Stars!
“I absolutely love this series! Natalie is a criminal who puts you on the edge of your seat, all the time.
But is she really a criminal? Does your heart go out to her? Bullets flying everywhere, Mafia, murder, kidnapping, CIA, FBI, NOPD,
and of course, Natalie in the middle of it all! Pick up a copy, you won't be disappointed. Susan makes her readers feel like they are on
scene wherever they are... Italy, NY, New Orleans. I Highly Recommend The Frank Renzi Series.” -- New York Army Mom
