Tanya Dubois, the enigmatic heroine of this enjoyable standalone from Lutz (How to Start a Fire), is the unhappy wife of the deceased Frank Dubois, who took a fatal—and unassisted—header down the basement stairs of their Waterloo, Wis., home. Since she fears the police will think she pushed Frank, Tanya decides to get out of Waterloo as fast as possible, and she holes up in a sleazy motel, the first of many she’ll stay in, to call the mysterious Mr. Oliver, who grudgingly agrees to supply her with a new identity and some starter cash: it’s clear he’s done it before. Tanya becomes Amelia Keen in Austin, Tex., where she meets the beguiling but dangerous bartender Blue. It’s soon clear that Amelia and Blue both have unsavory pasts, and the agreement the women reach sends both of them off with new names. While the pacing falters in places and some of the final reveals lack wallop, Lutz’s complex web of finely honed characters will keep readers turning the pages. Agent: Stephanie Rostan, Levine Greenberg Literary Agency.

Beloved for her New York Times best-selling, Edgar- and Macavity-nominated, and Alex Award-winning "Spellman Files" series, Lutz drives into new territory here. Leaving behind a note saying, "I didn't do it"--that is, kill her husband--Tanya cashes in her credit cards, secures a new identity, and leaves town. She's befriended by female bartender Blue, and soon they're moving from city to city as Tanya (name-changed to Amelia, then Debra) tries to outrun the past.
