Last Resort

Why would Abigail Bissett suddenly resign as an FBI profiler to take a position with Carnival Cruise lines revamping shore excursions in Mediterranean ports? Why would she embark on a new life thousands of miles from Brookline, Massachusetts, her hometown? "I don't understand why you'd leave a job that you spent years training for and clearly love for a position that is inconsequential in the scheme of things," her mother pleads over coffee hours before Abby departs. "Because I can no longer deal with psychologically sick people out there," Abby responds. "The serial killers. The serial rapists. The child molesters. You get the point, Mom." "I do," Carole grudgingly responds. "But I've never known you to run from a challenge." "Maybe my FBI career has changed me," says Abby. "Look at it this way, Mom. I'm taking on a new challenge-one that's less stressful." In LAST RESORT, travel with Abby on an anything but typical cruise aboard the Carnival Liberty.
