Amber Alert

by Kiki Swinson Narrated by Not Yet Available

Overview

An explosive portrait of Dirty South revenge, triple-dealing, and crimes of passion as a suburban mom's
high-end criminal past comes back to haunt her, endangering her children-and propelling her into a
high-stakes game she remembers all too well . . .
Gone without a trace . . .
Once the most cunning luxury car thief in the game, Ava Frost gladly gave it all up to become the wife of
a successful Norfolk, Virginia, businessman, and raise their two children in better circumstances than she
ever knew. But when the children are abducted-and held for a two-million-dollar ransom-Ava is stunned to
discover her husband's bad deals have drained their fortune. Determined, she pursues her best, and toughest,
option: she asks her ex-boyfriend, the mastermind behind the South's biggest car theft ring, for the money. But
nothing ever comes for free, and Nick has a small request . . .
Racing against the clock . . .
Soon Ava is targeting one-of-a-kind cars that must be stolen within impossibly short timeframes. The excitement
of the hunt and Ava's vulnerability is reigniting dangerous heat between her and Nick-just as she's finding out
her husband's betrayal runs deeper and more lethal than she ever expected . . .
Running out of time . . .
Now with one heist gone very wrong and the police closing in, Ava's down to her final chance to keep her
bargain with Nick. But with hidden agendas and secret obsessions in play, will even her most skilled moves
succeed in bringing her children home-or destroy everything she's fighting to save?

You'll keep flipping pages to see how the story's heroine faces a succession of harrowing adventures as she fights desperately to keep herself, and those she loves, alive." —The Grio on The Safe House
 
"Edgy street fiction with an extra dose of suspense...For MadameNoire loyalists with an addiction to street stories, Kiki Swinson's latest book is a strong follow-up to her much talked about novel, The Score. Kiki Swinson has raised the bar with The Mark, not only because of the cat and mouse theme that sits between the pages but also because of the ocean-deep suspense that runs all through it." —MadameNoire
 
"From one of the most prolific and respected voices in urban fiction...You'll tear through this vivid and pulse-pounding journey of a young woman on the run, who will do whatever she can to save her life—and protect those she loves." —CrimeReads on The Safe House
 
"Breathless suspense explodes on practically every page, highlighted by scenes of violence and merciless, execution-style murders. Lauren comes off as something of Superwoman who performs feats of strength two days after giving birth, but that just adds to the page-turning appeal. Swinson's name will generate strong interest." —Library Journal
