Description

A high-octane, heart-pounding tale set in Everglades City, Florida and Sicily, Italy with three important questions: Where am I?... How did I get here?... and most importantly… Who am I?
These three questions have plagued Lisa Green for the past two months since she crawled barefoot and bleeding from the wreckage of a catastrophic car accident. Her boyfriend Roland has been nursing her back to health under close watch. Lisa has amnesia. They both know that, but only Lisa knows that she hasn’t lost her ability to reason. And reason tells her that she is not Roland’s girlfriend. She is his prisoner. Escape is her only option, and Lisa must figure out who she can trust and how to stay alive.
It's bad enough that she's been held against her will, but worse, it seems that she wasn't randomly chosen. There's more to her story than kidnapping, and the details appear to cross borders and continents. With organized criminals hard on her heels, Lisa must expose her enemies before they choose their next victim.
Not to be missed.

Editorial Reviews

"Douglas Schofield delivers the goods: a high-energy thriller that rockets effortlessly and convincingly from the Everglades to Sicily and points between, featuring richly drawn characters and a compelling, timely plot. Laura Pace is a refreshing protagonist, enigmatic, vulnerable and a kick-ass engine of justice."—Les Standiford, author of Last Train to Paradise and the John Deal series
"Readers will eagerly await Schofield's next mystery."—Publishers Weekly
"Laura Pace...is tough and focused—a very welcome strong and complex female character."—Mystery Scene Magazine
"An entertaining cat-and-mouse thriller that highlights a refreshingly strong, cunning — and lethal — female protagonist. Well-paced and well-written."—Vancouver Sun
"'Wow! What a book. Yes, Killing Pace is a mystery, but it is also a twisty, involving action/suspense novel. And for once, the hero is a strong and more-than-capable woman. When you start Killing Pace, make sure that you have nothing else on your calendar. Then be prepared for a gut-wrenching adventure dealing with stolen kids, the Mafia, and the U.S. Justice Department. The question is, who can our hero trust? And the answer lies between the pages of Killing Pace, a snaking and thrilling novel by a talented writer."—Great Mysteries and Thrillers
"Killing Pace is a fast, suspenseful read and makes one look forward to further adventures of this protagonist."—Reviewing the Evidence
