Vinh Murphy—former Marine and onetime operative for the elite security firm Troubleshooters Incorporated—has been MIA ever since his wife, Angelina, was caught in a crossfire and killed during what should have been a routine bodyguard assignment. Overcome with grief, Murphy blames the neo-Nazi group known as the Freedom Network for her death. Now, years later, Freedom Network leader Tim Ebersole has been murdered – and the FBI suspects Murphy may have pulled the trigger. Murphy himself can’t be sure what he did or didn’t do during the years he spent mourning and lost in an alcohol-induced fog. He does know he occasionally sought solace from Hannah Whitfield, a former police officer and the very friend who’d introduced him to his beloved late wife.
But finally, Murphy is ready to rejoin the living. As always, he finds himself knocking on Hannah’s door. Yet even as Murphy slowly rebuilds his splintered life, he continues to fight his growing feelings for Hannah. Then he learns of Ebersole’s murder and comes to believe that the Freedom Network has targeted him—and Hannah—to avenge their leader’s death. Now Murphy must face the terrifying prospect of losing to violence another woman he loves.

"As with many of the Troubleshooters series, there are multiple sub plots within this book. I listened to this book, which I have all of the Troubleshooters, and will review them all once I listen to them again and their stories are more fresh within my mind. I just finished listening to Into The Fire and very much loved it. It did take me a while to listen to it, since I have been pre occupied of late, but I finally finished it. Yooray For Me!!! It starts out with the main story plot which is with Vinh Murphey and Hannah; who have been friends for ages. Vinh lost his wife some years ago, and still has problems grieving over her death. He loved her dearly and his only friend he ever comes to is Hannah. He comes to her cottage one night drunk as Hannah usually see's him since his late wife's death. Hannah understands because she was her best friend. I remember when I had listened to Hot Target where she dies. I was upset when Brockmann decided to kill her off, but now I am glad that she decided to do Vinh and Hanna's story. It was much needed. Since there is a plot to frame Vinh for the man's death who he believed was responsible for Angelina's(his late wife) death. Hannah knowing she is the only friend he trusts, assists him in his mission to find out what really is going on and the risks involved are high. All the while his other friends(Seals ad Troubleshooters) are out hunting for him so they can find out what is going on and uncover the truth.Another one of the sub plots is with Izzy Zanella and Danny Gillmann's younger sister who has just turned 18 years old are brought together. She takes refuge with Izzy for the night after her boyfriend leaves and abandons her at a Krispy Kreme. Where they spend one night together, and even though they don't get to third base, Izzy knows he is lost. Much later Danny forces him to marry his sister when she is found pregnant and they assume its Izzy's and even though Izzy knows he isn't the father he is willing to marry her.Another minor sub plot that we see in this book involved Tess Bailey and Jimmy Nash. Although they are officially engaged, they have yet to set a date. It seems as though Jimmy is trying to force Tess into leaving him; and I have to say I can understand why (and you will too if you read this book) however you can see how much they love each other especially from a earlier book in the series Flashpoint. But you can see how Tess see's through Jimmy and his attempts to protect her although misguided.I absolutely loved this book, especially since I am a Troubleshooters fan, and I have been hoping that Murphy would find love again after his loss. The main focus of the book is Vinh and Hannah's story. Although I definitely enjoyed the other sub plots; which were filled drama, wit and suspense and very arousing. I loved the mystery and intrigue, the unabashed passion that develops between the couples, and the undermining love that strengthens and fortifies these tender relationships that Brockmann reveals to us. The plot was filled with excitement and thrilling suspense, the characters were highly developed and well portrayed, and it involved most of the Troubleshooters Team and the Seals Team 16 as well; which is always great to see. I was utterly captivated by this book, and would love to be able to listen to it again. I hope to have the opportunity soon!!! This is definitely at the top of my list of good book to listen to and read!!!"
— Lover (5 out of 5 stars)
" I think this is my favorite of hers so far! It was really good! "
— Lori, 2/13/2014" lots of story's in this one i am now in love with izzy and want him happy...the murphy story worked well... "
— Natalie, 12/26/2013" I have read all in this series, I like getting to be reintroduced to secondary characters from other books and seeing their story, as usuall there are plenty of secondary plots for her to start up on another round, I can't wait for Izzy and Eden's story "
— Debra, 12/26/2013" I love Suzanne Brockmann books, a lot of action and some romance....perfect. Her characters are realistic...none of perfect in character or looks which make it so much better than a 'romance' novel. A lot of action and witty dialogue...which I love. "
— Alison, 12/24/2013" While I liked the main story, I definitely didn't care for a substory involving Izzy Zanella. It didn't feel realistic or appropriate. And the main story wasn't covered as fully as I wanted because of time devoted to this substory. "
— Jody, 10/5/2013" I usually love this author, but this book seemed a little slow. Until about half way through then the action that she's so good at came into the story. All in all, a pretty good read. "
— Kim, 8/17/2013" Edgy and as always a good read. "
— Susy, 5/19/2013" One of the best so far - I literally stayed up all night to read it (something I rarely do anymore). Nice mingling of the multiple plotlines, good characterization - even though I'm sad at where some of them will be going in the next book (no spoilers here, but I'm hoping I'm wrong) "
— Chris, 7/29/2012" I love the Troubleshooters series! "
— Annie, 11/11/2011" Very long!!!! "
— Mindi, 4/22/2011" Can you say angst? "Angst" to the max in this book! Sigh. Still, a good read over all. "
— Lori, 2/7/2011" As always Suz Brockmann brings the right mix of suspense and sexy romance. I still think her first Troubleshooters books are the best compared to these later once. "
— Marleen, 2/1/2011" Sorry to say that I could not keep up with her characters, and their relationships. Too much suspense and drama for me, although I have enjoyed previous books of hers. "
— Ellie, 1/30/2011" Love this series. Fast paced and fun. "
— Rese, 10/16/2010" Vihn & Hannah's story...one I didn't fully appreciate until I read some of the earlier TS books (I've been reding them out of order). I enjoyed this book by itself...I enjoyed it even more after reading the others. "
— MRS, 9/29/2010" I love the back stories more than I do the main characters. Give me more Izzy Zanella "
— Jesslynn, 8/10/2010" OK - I HATED this book, BUT everyone says you have to start from the beginning...so I will do! "
— Sara, 7/29/2010" Love the multiplots. But knowing this is one of the many books concerning Troubleshooters, it leaves me with lots of questions. <br/> <br/>Strangely, I love Izzy. And somehow I can't say the same about Eden. It's like any minute I, as a reader, am supposed to feel sorry for her but... not really. "
