About My Unlikely Saint

Writer Jennifer Sands needs a story, and the lone woman sitting at the bar just happens to have one. However, the story isn't free. The woman needs a get-away driver.

She's a career criminal working in disguise. Her intricate makeovers are foolproof, her aliases borrowed from the Catholic saints. But she's no Simon Templar saint; crime is not glamorous, and sometimes you bomb. This criminal is the real deal. What Jennifer has stumbled upon is a true crime confessional, a cozy Catch Me if You Can, so to speak. Maybe even a best seller.

The job isn't risky, the woman tells Jennifer. It's research, Jennifer tells herself. One quick step in the gutter can't hurt. But the job gets botched (or so it seems). What remains is a mishmash of tales on tape. Unable to make sense of these ramblings, Jennifer's best-selling confessional turns into an impossible mystery.

Enter one bruiser of a detective who's been chasing this criminal. He pulls from his case file a snapshot of Jennifer behind the wheel of the get-away car. She can't argue the evidence. Now she must find this woman and discover what crime, if any, she has witnessed. And the thorny detective is the only one who can help her.

My Unlikely Saint is a mixed genre novel, an accidental mystery as seen through the starry eyes of Jennifer Sands. It is the first book in a densely plotted, parallel twosome.
