ABOUT THE BOOK

The minute he saw her, 'smooth skin tanned a dark honey colour, sleek young muscles making the honey skin ripple as she moved', Frank Limosin knew Suki Flood was trouble. But when Frank spotted the sexy 18 year old perched on the rear deck of a fire red Trans Am in the middle of the scorching New Mexico desert, stranded by a flat tyre, he knew he had no choice but to help her.

Fixing the Trans Am's tyre proves not to be enough. The car won't run and Frank isn't about to leave Suki to die on the way to the De Baca mountains. then Frank finds out that Suki is on the run from a sadistic con man named Mink and his mean flunkies, Mote and Jersey. It seems that Mink didn't take too kindly to Suki doping him with Seconal then tattooing her own version of 'Crook' on his forehead.

Limosin has problems of his own - a stash of $77,000 in the back of his camper, the proceeds from a truckload of stolen ball bearings... and the police are on his case! But Frank gets caught up in a dangerous roller coaster of a fight to save Suki's life and all his other problems fade into insignificance.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"If you're already a fan of crime thrillers, I'd call Robert Leininger's Killing Suki Flood a cross between Stick by Elmore Leonard and The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. If you're not yet a fan, my advice on this book is simple: Buy it if you can, steal it if you have to, but be sure to read it." - Jeremiah Healy, author of Swan Dive
