No Loose Ends is possibly the first novel of a new genre: the Cozy Thriller.

It's a compelling story of an assassination, a ruthless, high-stakes venture company, and the clever killer they hire.

It's also a heart-warming story of a three-generation family and a woman who must disappear from her home overnight to protect the family that lives with her: her son and two grandchildren, one of whom is injured when an attempt is made to eliminate her.

Maggie Wiser has witnessed her ex-husband's brutal murder, and because it is staged to look like an accident, it is not investigated. But both Maggie and her would-be assassin know what she saw.

Torn between wanting to watch over her family and leaving in order to protect them, she follows the advice of her elderly neighbors, Wade and Jessie. Maggie is already under surveillance when they spirit her away. Gone without a trace. But the assassin is intelligent, motivated, and never fails.

Can retired Wade and Jessie call on rusty skills to teach her what she needs to know to stay alive and thwart her persistent assassin? The assassin she knows about... and the one she doesn't.
