No Way Back is a thrilling page-turner from Andrew Gross, the New York Times bestselling author of 15 Seconds and The Blue Zone. One woman is framed for a horrific crime, and desperate to prove her innocence.

A chance meeting with a stranger in a hotel ends in a shocking murder. Wendy Gould is an average mom--and the only witness. Nanny Lauritzia Velez knows a shocking secret that could prove to be deadly. Both of their lives in danger, this unlikely pair must work together against a network of dangerous men who want nothing more than to see them dead.

A fast-paced, riveting tale with strong, compelling characters, No Way Back is an edge-of-your-seat read with nonstop action and a complex mystery.

From the Back Cover:

Wendy Gould is a happily married suburban mom who, in a moment of weakness, follows an attractive stranger up to his hotel room where a horrifying murder takes place and she's the only witness. Now she's forced to run from rogue federal agents determined to keep her silent, even if it means killing her.

Lauritzia Velez, meanwhile, is a devoted young nanny whose deadly past has forced her into hiding. But that past has caught up with her.

Scared and alone, these two women with nothing in common must join forces and embark on a dangerous odyssey to find the truth. Their desperate hunt will lead them into a nefarious web of treachery, lies, and corruption involving drug lords, arms dealers, and shadowy figures in the highest echelons of government.
