Description
Determined to live her life despite being a person of interest in a murder, Annie Velasquez decides to rebuild her father's bicycle shop, which was burned in an arson fire eighteen months earlier. That fire took her father's life, so she and her adopted brother, Joe, decide to rebuild in his honor.
While running an errand for the bike shop, Annie comes face to face with Nicky Fleming, the woman Annie allegedly murdered. In shock, Annie reports the encounter to Beth O'Brien, the Portland detective in charge of the homicide investigation. Beth listens to her story and promises to look into it.
Despite Beth's reassurances, Annie decides that she must look for Nicky herself. After all, if the police don't believe Nicky is alive, she will never be free of suspicion.

EJ Kindred is a recently retired Oregon attorney. Her legal career of 26 years was spent doing her best to make rich computer companies got even richer, and she's delighted to have left it all behind.
She's been a writer from an early age, penning terrible stories and wretched poems with which to torment her family, friends, and teachers. She refuses to disclose how many Star Trek scripts she wrote. Other than a first place award in a short story contest long, long ago in a state far, far away, her first published work is the story "The Other Marie," which appears in the anthology, Time's Rainbow: Writing Ourselves Back Into American History. The subject of the story, Marie Equi, was one of Oregon's first women doctors, a crusader for humane working conditions, an anti-war activist who spent time in San Quentin for sedition, and an unabashed lesbian-all in the early 20th century.
In addition to enjoying retirement and writing, EJ makes quilts, occasionally donating them to the fundraising efforts of various groups, primarily cat rescues. She enjoys jigsaw puzzles, old movies, spending time with friends, and, of course, reading anything and everything. She lives near Portland, Oregon, with an undisclosed number of cats.
