Exit

After a long shift at her downtown Kansas City office, Andrea Huxley was looking forward to nothing more than spending the long Thanksgiving weekend with her teenage daughter, Ava, the first such holiday since the pair had escaped an abusive life with their husband and father, Samael. Heading for the parking lot and their late-night ride home, they encounter a man who is bleeding profusely from a knife wound. The good Samaritans can't ignore his plight, and stop to render what aid they can. They soon discover that they are in the unfortunate position of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The bleeding man isn't the only one who is in mortal danger, because those who are responsible are closing in, trying to finish the grisly job. Before Andrea and Ava can even get out of the parking garage with their injured passenger, these very bad men arrive. In the resulting deadly confrontation, mother and daughter are separated and must escape into the building as their murderous pursuers try to hunt them down. What follows is a riveting cat-and-mouse chase in the spirit of classic claustrophobia-inducing novels Vertical Run, and Nothing Lasts Forever (inspiration for the Bruce Willis blockbuster film Die Hard). Filled with twists and turns, this nail-biting thriller will keep the reader guessing until the thrilling end. The pursuers are desperate to silence the two witnesses, but mother and daughter have experience with dealing with violent men, and won't go down easily as they do anything they can to find the EXIT.
