Description

When Nicole Lewis, a young woman living in Los Angeles, arranges a summer-long swap of her condo for a London couple's house she thinks it's the perfect arrangement. She's always dreamed of seeing the real London, not just the tourist spots. She'll be able to accompany her husband, Brad, on his out-of-town work as a trouble-shooter for his company. It will also give her a chance to keep an eye on Brenda, Brad's assistant, who seems to be getting a little too chummy with her boss.

But things don't turn out the way Nicole expects.

Within a couple of days, she discovers that Freddy and Muriel Lowry, the Londoners, failed to arrive in L.A. and appear to be missing. Then people start following her and making threats, demanding information she doesn't have. Nicole realizes she's in serious trouble. But she can't get Brad--busy working--or the police to believe her.

Somehow, it's up to her to extricate herself from the mess the Lowrys have left behind...

When Nicole Lewis, a young woman living in Los Angeles, arranges a summer-long swap of her condo for a London couple's house she thinks it's the perfect arrangement. She's always dreamed of seeing...


Advance Praise

"Delightful. Set amidst the quaint neighborhoods of London and the wild lochs of Western Scotland, this tale of a house swap gone criminally wrong will appeal to mainstream mystery fans. Skulking strangers, assumed identities, and the protagonist's increasingly distant husband amp up the paranoia and suspense."
-- Denise Hamilton, bestselling author of "Damage Control" and editor of the Edgar Award-winning short story anthology Los Angeles Noir.

"I loved this Hitchcockian thriller of a woman who innocently swaps houses only to find herself caught up in a web of mystery and intrigue. (Not to mention a bit of romance.) Taut, suspenseful, and fast-paced, THE SWAP is a terrific read. I recommend it highly."
-- Laura Levine, author of the Jaine Austen Mystery series.

"The Swap is a twisty, carefully plotted tale of a young American woman plunged into a high-stakes game of criminal intrigue. The biggest treat is watching Nicole Lewis transform herself into a resourceful amateur sleuth who finds surprising depths of courage--and even a little romance. First-rate suspense."
--Edward Wright, Shamus Award-winning author of "From Blood" and other mysteries

"Well written, non-stop, can't-put-it-down suspense."
--Charles Rosenberg, author, best selling mystery "Death on a High Floor"
