Vital Sins (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780986395734)

Trust no one.

On the street you learn that trusting people can get you killed. But sometimes you have no other choice.

Andie McInnes has survived on the streets of Portland for three years by keeping her head down, trusting no one, and avoiding trouble. But trouble pays her a visit one night in a Chinatown alley, when she's cornered by a trio of thrill-seeking deviates bent on murder. It doesn't turn out well . . . for the attackers.

It's a clear-cut case of self-defense. Or it would be if the deck were not stacked against people like Andie. Charged with manslaughter, she lands in the middle of a conspiracy that leads all the way to the United States Congress.

A groundbreaking thriller.
