"The Bodies Left Behind"  
         By Jeffery Deaver

2011 Book Review #18 
          
            Library Journal Review 

Responding to a suspicious 911 call, Deputy Kristen Brynn McKenzie stumbles on two hit men at the scene of a double murder. Surviving the attack is a young woman whom Brynn must get to safety. The women are tracked through the night as they try to make their way to a phone or to the nearest highway. Each new plan to reach help seems to be anticipated by the hit men, and at every turn Brynn must outwit the heavily armed pursuers.

My thoughts:
You should also know that Brynn loses her phone and gun  when her car goes into the lake.  So...she and the young woman are on foot in the wilderness with a couple of kitchen knives for weapons and no way to call for help!   Jeffery Deaver is one of my favorite authors and I liked this book!
