Run From Nightmare by Maxine O'Callaghan
The second unforgettable Delilah West thriller from Maxine O’Callaghan
Before Kinsey Millhone, Sharon McCone and V.I. Warshawski, there was Delilah West, the sensitive, gutsy and resourceful private eye who shattered the boundaries of mystery fiction…
When thirty-year-old Janet Valek dashes off to some small desert town and doesn’t come back, her worried family hires PI Delilah West to check up on her. Delilah gladly accepts the mundane case. Delilah is still reeling from hunting down her husband’s killer and has buried herself in routine cases ever since. The more routine the better. But it turns out that Janet has vanished and when corpses start turning up, Delilah fears Janet may be in a shallow grave…and discovers that there are people who’d like to put the tenacious PI in one, too.
