Talon

by J.P. Mercer

Synopsis:

Liberty Starr had just finished FBI training and believed she was doing her patriotic duty when she agreed to join the Talons, an elite covert group formed by the president in response to an atrocious act of terrorism. The Talons and their mission are insidiously corrupted with murder for profit to further the political careers and power by the president’s trusted advisor and his vice president.

Kayla Sinclair was touted as the best woman downhill skier in the world and was predicted to win more medals than any woman in the history of the Olympic Games. Kayla was at the top of her game when an avalanche crashed down on her, causing her to spiral into a liquor bottle to escape her losses.

A twist of fate brings these two emotionally damaged women together during a tumultuous time in the history of the country. Liberty discovers the heartbreak of betrayal and becomes the hunted. Can she find peace and absolution? Can she rekindle a small spark of humanity that still burns in a soul that is coated with the blood of those she's killed?

2007 Golden Crown Literary Society Finalist: Lesbian Mystery/Thriller/Adventure Award

“This newest book is by far the best thing from J. P. Mercer yet. Her characters are in precarious personal situations and draw strength from each other, despite their own personal reservations. It would be hard for a reader to avoid falling in love with these women. They’re strong, beautiful, full of angst, and passionate. This is certainly one book no one should miss.”
~ K. Johnson, Reviewer

“Do you like mystery, suspense or adventure? Do you like romance? Do you like a story that sounds like it stepped off of the television screen or out of the newspapers because it’s so topical? Do you like a book that keeps you so engrossed you have to keep turning pages to find out what happens next? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, then Talon is the book for you....”
