MURDER AMONG STRANGERS

Pulling over to help a woman stranded by a flat tire in

a January downpour, Kate Austen (Murder Among Us, 1998, etc.) is soon sharing trunk space with the woman's late husband. And that's only the beginning of Kate's fourth and most nightmarish dip into skullduggery in the California suburbs—a trip that will take her from imprisonment in a cabin in the Idaho mountains to her framing for a second murder after her escape, and still

a third.
