Connected by Kim Karr

Laura's suggestion of Connected looks very promising. Here are a few quotes using Amazon's Look Inside search that might jog some memories:

"Now my fiance was going to be receiving California's Journalist of the Year award at a prestigious dinner in L.A. for his brilliant work in underground crime investigation."

"I saw a big black SUV with heavily tinted windows jackknifed in front of us. Its passenger door opened, and a man in a ski mask jumped out holding a gun."

Stefanie did add and rate Connected by Kim Karr on Feb. 28, 2013. If she doesn't return in the next few weeks I'd say we can call this Solved.
