Maitland Under Siege (Five Star Mystery S.) - Hardcover

When Evan Maitland found out that Thomas Hicks had killed two men, he doubled his fee - fifty thousand dollars to bring the bail jumper back to Chicago for trial. Thomas Hicks killed two men in self-defence. But for a black man with a record, he doesn't believe justice is going to prevail. He jumps bail, becomes a fugitive, and flees to western Kansas. He isn't there long before he realises he would have been safer in a Chicago jail. Nina Harrows comes from Dallas to find her sister. She's beautiful and she's tough. But her questions make the local cops nervous. In a place of evil, in a night of terror, the hunter will become the hunted, and Maitland will need help from both the fugitive and the lady if any of them are going to survive.
