Dark deception
(Manuscript)

Four years ago Kate O'Brien and her twin sister were attacked by a serial killer. Only Kate survived, and it was her drawing of the attacker-- along with last-minute evidence-- that convicted the suspect. She's been in witness protection ever since. When new evidence suggests the convicted man isn't the murderer, Kate is subpoenaed to testify in the new trial. Deputy U.S. Marshal Tony DeLuca accepts the assignment to bring Kate to the trial, remembering how her strength impressed him. While in Shelter Cove, Arkansas he gets a call from his chief, advising them to stay put until a new development in the case can be straightened out. When Kate's safety is threatened, Tony must race against the clock to keep her alive.
