The Chase

A bounty hunter named Holt Lasher crashes into the swimming pool of Isabelle Rochat, a corporate CPA, just as a shotgun blast tears into the deck and shatters the calm of Isabelle's ordered days. Isabelle believes the gunman was aiming at Holt, since few people would target an accountant when a bounty hunter is nearby. That assumption pulls the two women into a dangerous search that moves from the Rhode Island House of Representatives to a methadone clinic, through a hidden world of narcotics and shady bargains. Holt feels bound to keep Isabelle safe, and a pull between them neither expected grows stronger with every risk. The story asks whether Holt can track down the attacker before it is too late, and whether her relentless pursuit will put a shared future out of reach.
