'Deserves major attention' New York Times

Pilgrim Jones doesn't belong here.
She belongs in the cities of Europe, by her handsome husband's side.
But here she is, in a village on the edge of Africa.
No one knows why she is here and what she is hiding from. And she is not going to tell them - about her husband's betrayal, or the children she killed in a crash.
But two men from Pilgrim's past are coming to find her - two men with very different motives.
