Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 8, 2006 -- Hours after the congressman’s daughter, Breanna Jordan secretly boarded a plane back to Philadelphia, the body of her lover, Sean Thomas, washed up on the sandy shore of Horseshoe Bay beach in Bermuda. Breanna, now on the run, turns to her lawyer in a frizzled search to get her off the hook before time runs out.

Sassy, risk-taking attorney Spiegel Cullen is offered the case but cannot immediately make up her mind whether to take it. Spiegel knows Breanna, and not only believes she is capable of murder, but also realizes she’s still in love with her ex-lover, Brenna’s brother, who is now married with a pregnant wife. Wanting to move on with her life and personal dreams, the last thing Spiegel wants is another high-profile murder trial…but Congressman Felix Jordan wants her, and no one else, to get his daughter “out of the mess.”

“Tick Tock,” (ISBN 0974839205) is a high-profile, highly entertaining courtroom battle with unforgettable characters and plot twists.

She is not only forced to deal with her unresolved feelings for her ex-lover, her new boyfriend shows up on the island with a curvy female “friend.” As if that wasn’t enough, Spiegel realizes she is being stalked, deals with a health scare, and has persistent difficulties navigating Bermudian laws - time and resources continue to impede a favorable outcome, and the countdown begins to catch the real killer.
