Karma happens--often at the end of a lifetime of manipulation and betrayal. Sometimes we're not around to witness it; sometimes we are.

In Gone Awry--the last book in the Best Laid Plans series--we meander through Florence's early life and down the unfolding path that led to the buried treasure in Best Laid Plans. Will Florence have her final revenge on the women of The Next Step halfway house who she believes are holding her money ransom?

The cabin, where Shalese was to meet with Florence, is ablaze. It may be too late. Should she call for help? She panics when she sees the deputy's car drive up and hears the fire siren approaching. Not that long ago she was arrested for the murder of her housemate. Absolved, yes, but the fear of interacting wit the law remains. She bolts back down the hill to her car and flees.
