Plot summary

Terry Brogan, an aging football player in Los Angeles, is cut early in the season; he needs money, so he takes a job from a friend of his, Jake Wise, to track down his girlfriend, Jessie Wyler, who's somewhere in Mexico. She's also the daughter of a very wealthy land developer who owns Terry's team. He heads for Cozumel, finds Jessie, and promptly falls in love with her. He thinks it's mutual, then without warning, she heads back to Los Angeles and Jake. What's going on with her, and what's the connection between Jake's hold on Jessie and the various politicians, lawers, environmentalists who seem to be converging on some sort of land deal? Terry keeps looking for answers.

Tagline: She was a beautiful fugitive. Fleeing from corruption. From power. He was a professional athlete past his prime. Hired to find her, he grew to love her. Love turned to obsession. Obsession turned to murder. And now the price of freedom might be nothing less than their lives.
