And what can she do, lying in a hospital bed, to stop them?n nAbby Kaplan, an insurance investigator, is hired by the college to look in to Tara's case. A former stunt driver, Abby returned home after a disaster in Hollywood left an actor dead and her own reputation -- and nerves -- shattered. Despite the fog of trauma, she can tell that Tara's car crash was no accident. When she starts asking questions, things quickly spin out of control, leaving Abby on the run and a mysterious young hit man named Dax Blackwell hard on her heels.n nFull of pulse-pounding tension, If She Wakes is a searing, breakneck thriller from the genre's best of the best (Michael Connelly).n
