DEADLY EMBRACE. (J.Collins), “Pocket books“

Madison Castelli -- the beautiful, talented and street-smart journalist first introduced in the L.A. Connections series and Lethal Seduction -- is distraught after finding out her father has been keeping secrets from her (and is possibly involved with the mob). Madison flies from New York to L.A. to visit her best friend, Natalie De Barge, a gorgeous black radio personality, but within hours they find themselves caught in a restaurant hold-up, where they are trapped in a life-or-death situation.
