For that seems to work for Jamie Freveletti, whom I think I met briefly at ThrillerFest and is a member of the Chicago Contingent:
Jamie Freveletti's RUNNING FROM THE DEVIL, introducing an ultra marathon runner who uses her experience as a bio-chemist to survive in the jungle after a hijacking gone wrong, to Carolyn Marino at Harper, in a six-figure deal, in a pre-empt, in a two-book deal, by Barbara Poellee at the Irene Goodman Agency (world).
She is a fantastic writer and I can't wait to read the final product of RUNNING. Watch out; she could easily be the next big thing in thrillers...
