Claim Denied (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999137529)

Feisty and outspoken Margot Evelyn Hart and her fiancé, the charming and wealthy activist Andrey Orlov Stephen leave Minneapolis to launch an exciting new life abroad. Their plan: he'll work for the State Department, and she'll teach English. Together, they'll make a difference in peoples' lives throughout the world, one country at a time, starting in Kosovo.

Within days of their arrival in the capital city, Prishtina, her world crashes. Margot learns someone killed Andy with a single gunshot to the back of his head. She refuses to believe it until a vicious stranger bangs on her apartment door. Now, she can no longer deny the facts: Andy is dead, and she is prey.

Margot knows one person in all of Kosovo, Andy's good friend, Grey Valentin. She loathes the rotund and awkward know-it-all, but realizes he is her only hope of solving Andy's murder.

Even before she and Grey can grieve, they face a tangled web of deceit. Each step closer to the truth reveals complicated secrets, and a threat to the lives of thousands of innocent people.

Can Margot and Grey decode the clues in time?

Will she survive?
