Final Drive

“I could slit your throat right now, you whore, and throw your body into Puget Sound. No one would ever know what happened to you! And you know I could do it, too, baby. I'm a cop, and I know how to do these things and not get caught.” • Thirty-eight-year-old Rachel Goodrich, a survivor of domestic violence, has spent the last twelve years changing her life, keeping secrets, and trying to put her failed marriage behind her. One dark night she finds herself face-to-face with her abusive ex-husband and suffers a severe beating. Near death, her deceased grandparents reach out to help her transition to the other side. • Kenneth Hamilton, a cop and an ex-con, is determined to have Rachel back. If she doesn’t submit, he will finish the job and she will be planted six feet under, “pushing up posies.” He also recently took a shot at his other ex-wife, Debbie. He is on the lam and has nothing to lose. • Aaron Townsend, a Seattle coffee tycoon with his own secrets and wounds of the heart loves Rachel and would do anything to save her life and help her find natural healing through integration of mind, body, and spirit. FINAL DRIVE is a novel of real love, divergent personalities, paranormal, drama, and the process of the healing of heart and body.
