Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Registered nurse Harley Davis has been more than content with her predictable, uneventful, average middle class existence. After surviving a tumultuous childhood and being abandoned with her newborn baby as a teenager by the child's father, Harley was happy living what she considered a relatively normal life. While teaching her teenage daughter, Britt, to drive, Harley enjoys the beautiful Colorado landscape until her life takes an instantaneous, surprising turn. Driving their Mini Cooper, Britt hits a pedestrian, a local algebra teacher who suddenly appeared on the road. Investigators on the scene report that the victim had already been shot shortly before impact, but when Britt is later erroneously charged with the man's homicide and that of another person, Harley is compelled to take action. She calls upon some friends, a motley crew of misfits, including a pair of aging Vegas show girls, an attorney who is on the cusp of developing dementia, a tabloid reporter, and a retired pathologist. Harley's life becomes even more complicated when her estranged husband shows up. In the interest of extracting her daughter from the unsubstantiated criminal charges, Harley inadvertently enters a gruesome world of murder and Internet child exploitation.
