When a hijacker forces the flight attendant toward the cockpit at knifepoint, Mercedes Carrington takes action. She grabs her cane and successfully brings down the hijacker. As a result of her courageous act, she is transported out of her quiet existence into the public maelstrom. She becomes a hero, but there is a price to be paid. Her life is in danger because Mercedes has foiled the hijacking, and she is forced to go into hiding. Everyone is searching for her ... from the media to the evil conspirators who are behind the operation.




As Mercedes settles into Baird House in Nova Scotia and then into her new cottage on an idyllic island off the coast of Maine, she wonders if she will ever be safe again. Will Flower Island be an obscure enough hideout to protect her from the cabal that masterminded the hijacking she thwarted? Who are these brutes that want her dead? Can she successfully cover her tracks and avoid the obsessed free-lance journalist who is stalking the FBI agent in charge of her case?




As powerful people pursue her, another mystery is unveiled when Mercedes moves into her Downeast home. How many twists and turns can this grandmother handle? Will the unexpected treasures, the subterfuge, and the bodies ever stop interfering in her life? Will the terrorists, who have an insatiable appetite for revenge, be able to find her and kill her? Will she ever be able to return to the life she once loved?
