USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton brings her most edge-of-seat Charlie Parker mystery to date. It’s a terrible case of mistaken identity when a gang of bank robbers think that Charlie is a famous movie star. Disappointed with their take from the bank, they decide that a hefty ransom will be their ticket to riches. Charlie is terrified to think will happen when the real star steps forward and reveals their error. She knows that only her wits will save her from this band of desperate men.
Meanwhile, in a race against the clock, Charlie's husband Drake is working with the FBI and local authorities to get Charlie back before her captors realize their mistake.

He flew helicopters for 35 years, a career that I've borrowed from in my Charlie Parker mysteries. We have traveled quite a lot and now divide our time between the American Southwest and a place on the Sea of Cortez. For relaxation I love art -- painting and drawing can completely consume me. I also really enjoy cooking, with whatever ingredients I find in whatever country we are in at the moment. We walk every day and love watching and photographing wildlife."

2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Charlie stops at the bank to cash a check and while she is there the bank is robbed and she is taken as a hostage. You would think that matters can’t get worse but … the robbers take her with them when they go to get a different car, the robber’s girlfriend claims she is a movie star, and now they are holding her for ransom. An enjoyable read with just enough action.
