Meg Gardiner: Mission Canyon (UK 2009) From the Publisher: Since the accident, Brand has been avoiding justice overseas; but if he's back Evan and Jesse are determined to get him, helped by the dead boy's brother, Adam. Brand has been a high-flyer in Mako Technologies, a cyber-security firm, and this is where Evan starts looking. She quickly uncovers evidence that Brand was embezzling funds, and that Adam's brother knew all about it. So maybe the hit-and-run wasn't an accident at all? The policeman investigating is killed, and Adam and Jesse both come under suspicion. Matters are further complicated by the confused emotions of Jesse who feels a survivor's guilt, and Adam who resents the fact that Jesse is alive while his brother died. But there are more corpses to come - including a near miss for Evan herself - before the bad guys are finally brought to book. Meg Gardiner: Mission Canyon. Hit. Run. Die. An Evan Delaney Thriller.

Meg Gardiner: Mission Canyon (UK 2003) From the Publisher: In this beautifully constructed thriller, Meg Gardiner throws up smoke screen after smoke screen while cementing the relationship between her heroine, hero and the reader. Jesse, paraplegic since the accident, and Evan are on the count-down to their wedding when Brand is spotted by Jesse in Santa Barbara. The sighting opens all the barely healed wounds of the accident which put him in a wheelchair. As he and Evan investigate, the stress puts an almost intolerable strain on their relationship. Old truths and friendships come under the microscope and while the macabre facts of the accident come slowly into focus, Evan finds she is literally running for her life in the hills around Mission Canyon, and the stretch of road where Jesse faced death.
