Blind Alley ed-5 Read online

  She didn't wait for an answer. Trevor watched her stride across the lobby. Her head was high, her shoulders straight, her carriage indomitable.

  “I thought she might come to say good-bye.” Bartlett was standing beside him, his gaze on Jane. “Or perhaps au revoir. Which was it?”

  Au revoir. Until we meet again.

  “I'm not sure.” She'd almost disappeared from view but he could still see the strength and determination that radiated from her every movement. He suddenly felt a surge of exhilaration. “I think it was au revoir.” He started to laugh. “And, if it was, God help me.”

  Dear Reader,

  I hope you enjoyed reading about Jane MacGuire in Blind Alley. I certainly enjoyed letting her share center stage with Eve and Joe for the first time. In fact, after finishing the book I found I couldn't let her go. So I began writing another story, called Countdown, which sees Jane's adventures continue—but this time I'm afraid she's really going to be tested to the limit! Watch for it in hardcover in April 2005.
