Diane Wellman was in the wrong place at the wrong time. On patrol one hot night in Texas, she happened across the scene of a chilling multiple murder. An idealistic young police officer, she questions the nature of the open-and-shut case. She knows the prosecutor has put an innocent man in prison for the crime. She saw someone else that night.

Gail Rubin has been in the wrong place for the past eighteen years. She was sent to prison because of her peripheral involvement in a robbery — a robbery where someone was killed. And now, someone is determined to make an example of Gail.

Both Diane and Gail have been done wrong. They want revenge. And they are willing to risk everything to find a way out of the nightmare their lives have become. When the two of them make a break for it, they delve into the crime for which Diane's been put away, and they uncover a bigger conspiracy than they can even imagine. And once they’re on the run, there is no turning back.

Wanted is a roller-coaster ride and an adrenaline rush, a beautifully crafted thriller of justice and redemption.

"Wozencraft writes with nervy brilliance...the novel switches from procedural to prison story to escape novel...without losing momentum. A chiller."

— Booklist

   

"Wozencraft has remarkable talent...her characters come alive on each page."

— Tulsa World

   

"A deftly told jailbreak caper that provokes thought and goose bumps."

— People

   

"This is writing so powerful it will blow you away. Kim Wozencraft's characters step right off the page as living, breathing people, in a slam-bang thriller that doesn't let up until the final page."

— Tess Gerritsen, author of The Sinner

   

"A perceptive character study of two troubled souls on the lam, Wanted is unpredictable and absorbing. Kim Wozencraft sure knows how to craft a crime novel."

— Perri O'Shaughnessy, author of Presumption of Death

   

"Wanted is a top-notch read from a first-rate author. Kim Wozencraft has what it takes to go all the way. She writes like an angel, carrying a .45 Magnum, and Wanted is a twin turbo of a novel. It should come with seatbelts. Kim Wozencraft is back, with a vengeance."

— Keith Ablow, author of Murder Suicide

   

"Thelma and Louise are a couple of schoolgirls next to the pair of heroines who tear through Kim Wozencraft's Wanted. A high-speed, emotional thriller that grabs you from the start, it's also a white-hot indictment of what passes for justice in the United States-where crooked cops, malicious prosecutors and a dystopian bureaucracy destroy more lives than all the drugs on the street. Gail and Diane's desperate bid to outrun the shock troops of a sociopathic society is at once terrifying, exhilarating and inspirational. These are two powerful women refusing to bow down to the tin god of jurisprudence gone insane. You'll never stop rooting for them."

— Ian Spiegelman, author of Everyone’s Burning
