Find "The Bodies Left Behind"

Jeffery Deaver's The Bodies Left Behind is another great thriller from this esteemed author. Off-duty Deputy Brynn McKenzie is spending quality time with her husband and son when she receives notice than an abruptly cut-off 911 call has been made from an isolated vacation home in Wisconsin. She sets out to investigate the 911 call and stumbles into the path of two professional criminals, and the visitor, Michelle, who has been staying at the Wisconsin home. Brynn and Michelle flee into the woods in a race for their lives as they try to outrun the killers. Deaver creates a nice tension and contrast between the two female leads in this story --Brynn, the tough deputy with a checkered past and Michelle, the pampered city girl. Both women have to find a way to relate to each other so that they can survive being chased by the killers. The book is a thrill-a-minute ride and full of twists and turns. Fans of this book should also check out 24 Hours by Greg Iles, another heart-stopping, real-time adventure story!
