With the flair for sizzling romantic suspense that has made her books
international bestsellers, Elizabeth Adler, whose work has been hailed
by critics as "mesmerizing" Internet Bookwatch, "exhilarating"
Publishers Weekly, and "sensuous" Kirkus Reviews, is at the top of
her form with her latest novel, All or Nothing.
Lithe, leggy attorney and law professor Marla Cwitowitz is dying for
some excitement in her life--that is, other than being the girlfriend of
Al Giraud, private detective, sexy soul mate, and all-around best
friend. So when she sees the potential for a crime-solving spree, she
jumps at the chance to moonlight as a detective. According to the
evening news, local real estate agent Laurie Martin is missing and
presumed dead. Marla and Al happened to have seen her dining with an
attractive man several days before her disappearance. The man is Steve
Mallard, loyal husband, doting father, and prime suspect. But Marla
senses that something is not quite right. And her intuition has never
let her down. Believing that there's more to the story than meets the
eye, she takes matters into her own hands, vowing to get to the bottom
of what's beginning to look like a very complex case. Al wants Marla to
stay out of the way, fearing for her safety. He knows what's involved in
detective work, and he's not sure she can hold her own as an
investigator. But she won't be warned off this case. Their relationship
has never been more fraught with complications--or sexual sizzle. With
little warning or preparation, the two find themselves crisscrossing the
United States in frantic pursuit of a remorseless criminal in an effort
to prove Mallard's innocence. Finally Marla's found the excitement she's
been looking for. With her, it's always been all or nothing.
