It wasn’t supposed to be like this . . .
Leyla James wakes up in a hospital after a brutal attack on a running trail, once again entangled in a mysterious murder. This time, she swears she’ll run as far and as fast as she can, just as her partner urges. Then he disappears.
Desperate for safety, Leyla slips into a quiet Midwestern town, hoping that anonymity and a friend’s peaceful home on Lake Michigan will help her ride out the aftermath of her attack and Covid. She tries to keep up her regulatory law practice, but the feeling of being watched never fully leaves her.
Danger closes in.
When Leyla witnesses a death she believes she caused, she bolts again—straight into another trap. This time she lands on a Colorado ranch with a charming PI who promises to protect her. For the first time in a long while, she believes someone can.
But danger isn’t chasing her anymore—it’s circling.
Everywhere She Ran is the tense, twist-filled fifth book in the standalone Leyla James Mystery series. If you love strong female leads, fresh settings, and relentless danger, you’ll be drawn into A. Eveline’s latest gripping adventure.
