Nine O'Clock Retreat - Joanne Pence

A deadly attack, a retreat... to a place where new dangers await...

Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield is having problems with boyfriend Richie Amalfi, but they come to each other's aid when someone is trying to kill one of them ... and they aren't certain which. Or why. After Richie's pal, Shay, is caught in the cross-fire, they decide to seek refuge until they can figure out exactly what's going on.

Rebecca brings them to her old stomping grounds in Idaho, where she finds "big city" crime isn't limited to big cities. Plus, she learns the reality of the phrase, "a fish out of water" as Richie deals with a snowy mountain cabin retreat, and Shay comes to some revelations about his life from an unlikely source.

Danger threatens from different angles and in many guises as the three grapple with life, love, and murder when the clock strikes nine.
