Jenny Romano thinks her boyfriend, Steve, has found someone new. Rather than sit around agonizing, she goes to his lakeside cottage, determined to find out for sure. And finds Steve’s dead body in the bedroom, and the body of a woman on the patio. Before she can recover from the shock, she’s attacked from behind by a man who has arms of steel, a body that’s rock hard, and there’s a gun sticking in her ribs.

Convincing the attacker she’s not the killer is easy, once the man realizes she’s holding a flashlight and not a weapon. But then the real killers come back, and Jenny and her newfound friend, Andy Mulligan, ex-British Special Forces turned retrieval expert, are outnumbered and on the run.

According to Andy, Steve was trying to sell a valuable piece of stolen property that Andy has been trying to locate for months. It’s the statue of a golden horse encrusted with diamonds and emeralds that’s believed to be of Inca origin and reputedly worth millions. If the killers don’t find the statue at the lakeside cottage, Jenny’s afraid they’ll be coming after her.
