The Unknown (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

She was an unknown, a newborn baby, discarded in a dumpster on a bed of decaying garbage and lifeless rodents to die, trucked away, and forgotten. Yet, she survived. Through her childhood, teenage, and adult years, she wandered and hid, avoiding violent, unknown men driven to finish what they originally failed to do. What unknown secret drew these men to her? How did the ordinary an unopened letter, a homeless couple, tennis, swimming, horses, a corrupt friend, and a deck of cards change the unknown to the known, the hunted to ...? The path this story takes is not straight; it bends with mystery, intrigue, violence, the unexpected, and more than a few surprises.
