"I just happened upon this book but found it quite invigorating and crab me right from the start. It was on the end of another audio book by James patterson and it was only part of the book so I had to search out the rest of it on your web site. Her dad Ham is quite the skillful guy and used his military background to emerge himself into the life of the crazy folks with guns and therories and irrational ways of thinking. I like when he infiltrated their camp and blew it apart . A good read but not as good as James Patterson books"
— Trisha Bailey (5 out of 5 stars)
“Woods delivers smart characters and dialogue with a nice swing to it…Holly and Ham are engaging…with a lot of gumption and tough-talking banter between them.”
— New York Times“Starts with a bang—a literal one…Woods knows how law enforcement agencies from local cop shops to the Secret Service work, and his action scenes are clean and sharp.”
— Publishers Weekly“The plot takes several twists, and the suspense is excellent, ending in an exciting standoff at a Miami hotel and a remote airport…Recommended.”
— Library Journal" I had started this book in paperback but when it was drenched in a pool. I was glad I found it in your store.. I enjoy the book and will look for others by the same author. "
