Susan St John

Bullet Holes, Lethal Injections, and Hiccups Susan St John

This magical story follows Leah Hollander, a woman on the run from her abusive husband Jake. When Jake foils his wife's escape plan, what ensues is a madcap, screwball chase with a cast of loveably unforgettable characters. The police officer, who has a tragic history of falling in love with women he's failed to protect, is determined to uncover the truth behind Leah Hollander's disappearance. Where is the wife? Her car is still in the driveway, her suitcases are still in the hallway, and her grand champion cat is dead. That's all the evidence Whitaker needs to lay down his badge and chase after the fleeing husband. George, neighbor and husband of Leah's best friend, has just returned from burying his wife and unborn child; he's a little bit drunk and a lot determined to stay that way. With nothing more to lose, he's got a shotgun, and he's out to get justice for the lovely Leah Hollander. In the chaotic chase that follows, completely oblivious to George and Whitaker's pursuit, Jake hunts his errant wife with karma riding shotgun. And karma is no fan of Jake Hollander. Just ask the all-seeing dragon on the wall.
