Excerpt from "Hot Wheels" - Prologue and 1st-chapter.
Jenna Marov can't fault her partner's road sense. Even so, the store fronts, the madcap traffic and street signs are zooming by too quickly. Once she grasps the reason for a sudden maneuver, the crisis has become history. It's hard to sit back and do nothing while Jo, her erstwhile driver, makes all the spilt-second calls.
# Now her getaway specialist has decided to stop for lunch, which will delay their escape. The cartel has already condemned them as terrorists after her attack on Petronas Tower 2. Before long, the Malaysian Special Branch will dub them public enemy's number one and two. Why give their pursuers an extra chance to catch up?
# Jen watches her partner snooping around the parking lot, looking for a spot where the Humvee might fit. "Healthy fast food?" she grumps. "I doubt it."
Well-fed, but not dead is where I left Jo and Pix, two persons of interest, as they leave the fast-food restaurant for the rest of their adventure you've staked out. As characteristic of your writing: realistic dialog and details move the plot forward.
