Mystery/Horror

Tara Beckley is a senior at Hammel College in Maine.  As she drives to deliver a visiting professor to a conference, a horrific car accident kills the professor and leaves Tara in a vegetative state.  At least, so her doctors think. In fact, she's a prisoner of locked-in syndrome:  fully alert but unable to move a muscle.  Trapped in her body, she learns that someone powerful wants her dead--buy why?  What can she do, lying in a hospital bed, to stop them?

Abby Kaplan, an insurance investigator, is hired by the college to look into Tara's case.  A former stunt driver, Abby returned home after a disaster in Hollywood left an actor dead and her own reputation--and nerves--shattered.  Despite the fog of trauma, she can tell that Tara's car crash was no accident.  When she starts asking questions, things quickly spin out of control, leaving Abby on the run and a mysterious young hit man named Dax Blackwell hard on her heels.
