From the Shadows

43 Light Street #24

by Rebecca York

Much of Alex Shane's teen years were forgotten -- but his one intimate encounter with Sara Delaney was crystal-clear in his memory. Sweet Sara who'd been too good for the bad boy he used to be. But the tables had turned now: Alex was investigating a possible murder -- and Sara was his prime suspect.

Though she hid her share of secrets, she claimed her innocence with her every breath.What she couldn't hide was that she craved Alex as much as he wanted her.

Either way Sara was a danger. Alex was either harboring a criminal...or enticing the only woman who could find her way to his hidden heart.

About the author

Ruth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.

Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..

Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.

Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.

Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

From the Shadows
July 15, 2002

The 43 Light Street series continues with "From the Shadows." Security expert Alex Shane faces a strange case when his client disappears. Is it murder or has his client faked his disappearance? The investigation leads him to Sara Delaney, a young woman he had an encounter with when they were in high school. She makes him feel things he hasn't for years, but can she be trusted?

"From the Shadows" is an unusual and unique Intrigue story. Readers eager for something different will find it here. An interesting puzzle with constant action and good twists, "From the Shadows" should keep readers guessing. Although Sara often seems stranded on the sidelines during this story, more of a supporting character than a heroine, and the romance is slight, Rebecca York has a fresh, intriguing story to tell.
