Dark Corners — Elaine Raco Chase

THEY'RE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, RELUCTANT LOVERS... AND AN UNBEATABLE TEAM WHEN MURDER AND MAYHEM COME THEIR WAY.

NIKKI HOLDEN. Her early education was in the street. Her finishing school was a reformatory. She graduated to be street-smart. sharp-tongued and dangerously beautiful. Now, she's a first-rate journalist... and a woman who's learning about the loving feelings beneath her tough skin.

ROMAN CANTRELL. He grew up on a farm in the wholesome mid-west. But he came of age in the treacherous jungles of Vietnam where snipers' bullets and poisoned pungee sticks made a man of him--fast. Now. he's running his own topnotch security firm .. . and discovering he's a man with a cause. a cause named Nikki Holden.

ALL OVER STEAMY SOUTH FLORIDA PEOPLE ARE SEEING THINGS. THINGS THAT CAN'T BE REAL...OR CAN THEY?

Nikki's boss has given her the most bizarre assignment of her career. More than 200 solid citizens have reported sightings of UFOs and soon she is on the trail of a genius with a penchant for hi-tech larceny.

Because an old buddy is in trouble, Roman is stuck with the most baffling case of his career. Tony Mackey swears that U.S. Army soldiers backed by a tank have hijacked the truck he drives and made off with a cargo worth over S2 mil. Is Tony hallucinating? Or is he feeding Roman a pack of lies?

Then the assignment and the case converge. Roman's on the outside, breaking in. Nikki's on the inside, digging deeper. Both are trapped in a plot that's stranger than science fiction. . . but as real as death in DARK CORNERS
