"15 Seconds" by Andrew Gross was inspired by something that happened to him in real life. Fortunately for Andrew, it didn't last as long as Dr. Henry Steadman's troubles!
Vance Hofer is an ex-cop who has lost everything - his wife died; his home was foreclosed on; and now his daughter, Amanda, is going to jail for vehicular homicide while under the influence of prescription drugs. He can't help Amanda who must serve her time in jail but he can track down her sources and make them pay.
Dr. Henry Steadman is a successful Florida plastic surgeon who also happens to be divorced. He and his ex-wife have one teenage daughter, Hallie, who means everything to both of them.
When Henry flies into Ft. Lauderdale to play golf with a friend and speak at a Doctors Without Borders regional conference, he has no idea that his life is about to be turned upside down. A routine traffic stop turns into a nightmare and he finds himself on the run with nowhere to turn.
Carrie Holmes is on her first day back at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office as a Community Outreach Director. Her husband died unexpectedly and her son is recovering, too. She has the support of her family - her father an ex-cop and her brother is with the FBI - to help her return to a "normal" life.
When these three individuals find their lives colliding, they each have a decision to make about what their next step will be. Will they help one another or will they decide to not get involved?
This is an engrossing story with twists and turns and I'm ready to read more Andrew Gross novels. pazt
