The Distance: A Thriller

"To me, the best way to describe this novel is to say that while I was reading it I frequently had to remind myself to breathe. Society woman Charlotte Alton has a secret life — as Karla, someone who helps criminals “disappear” into new identities. But when Simon Johanssen, an ex-military sniper turned gun for hire, re-enters her life and asks for her help, danger and complications follow, not least because Simon is the one person who knows Karla’s real identity. To say any more would be a crime: This occasionally violent, page-turning novel gives the term thriller a good name."
