Blurb:
Chicago video producer Ellie Foreman has been absent from
thriller author Libby Fischer Hellmann s repertoire for almost a decade. Now,
in Jump Cut, she s back...and is soon to find herself entangled in a web of
espionage, murder, and suspicion that threatens to destroy what she holds most
dear. Hired to produce a candy-floss profile of Chicago-based aviation giant
Delcroft, Ellie is dismayed when company VP Charlotte Hollander trashes the
production and cancels the project. Ellie believes Hollander was spooked by
shots of a specific man in the video footage. But when Ellie arranges to meet
the man to find out why, he is killed by a subway train before they can talk.
In the confusion, she finds a seemingly abandoned pack of cigarettes with a
flash drive inside that belonged to the now-dead man. Ellie gets the drive’s
contents decrypted, but before long discovers she’s under surveillance.
Suspecting Delcroft and the ambitious Hollander are behind it, she’s
unconvinced when Hollander tells her the dead man was a Chinese spy. Ellie and
her boyfriend, Luke, try to find answers, but they don t realize how far they
have ventured into the dangerous echelons of hidden power. When Ellie s
daughter is kidnapped and Charlotte Hollander disappears, it becomes terrifyingly
clear that Ellie is in way over her head, and more lives are on the line
including her own."
My review:
Jump Cut is a smart, sharply written, intense modern day
thriller. I listened to the audio and was on the edge of my seat. My husband
passing by stopped to listen. A totally engaging story. Recommend.
