Getaway

A woman visiting Mexico stumbles into danger in this “sinister tale of a vacation gone bad” by the New York Times–bestselling author of Rock Paper Tiger (Publishers Weekly).
 
Michelle Mason tells herself she’s on vacation, just a brief stay in the Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta. It’s a chance to figure out her next move after the unexpected death of her banker husband, who’s left behind a scandal and a pile of debt. The trip was already paid for, and it beats crashing in her sister’s spare room. When a good-looking man named Daniel approaches her on the beach, the margaritas have kicked in and she decides: why not?
 
But the date doesn’t go as either of them planned. After an assault on Daniel in her hotel room, switched cell phones, and an encounter with a “friend” of Daniel, Michelle finds herself enmeshed in a covert operation involving drug runners, goons, and venture capitalists. Michelle already knows she’s caught in a dangerous trap. But she quickly finds that running is not an option. If she’s not careful, she’ll end up buried in the town dump with the rest of the trash. Now she needs to fight smart if she wants to survive her vacation.
