The Last Meridian - crossing it was her only choice.
A telegram sets off a chain of events that destroys five lives, throwing Hollywood insider Nina Ferrers life into turmoil. The infant boy she gave up for adoption in Chicago sixteen years earlier has been arrested for murder. A plea from the boys adoptive mother pushes her to act, but Nina has a big problem--she never told her husband about the boy.
Nina must come to terms with her guilt, while accepting the reality of her fragile life and her cheating husband, whos embroiled in another deadly plot. As her life unravels, the boys fate grows ominous. Set against the backdrop of the Hollywood heyday of the early 196s, the quick-witted, smart-talking Nina, a designer for the well-heeled of Los Angeles, hires a private detective to uncover the facts about what happened back in Chicago, and save her boy. Maybe... just maybe... he can save her, too.
Or perhaps Nina will have to save herself, the most frightening prospect of all. To do that, she must cross The Last Meridian, the place beyond which life as she knows it will no longer exist.
