From the number one New York Times bestselling coauthor of Judge & Jury and Lifeguard comes this electrifying solo debut, The Blue Zone.
Kate Raab's life seems almost perfect: her boyfriend, her job, her family . . . until her father runs into trouble with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his former accomplices in exchange for his family's placement in the Witness Protection Program. But one of them gets cold feet. In a flash, everything Kate can count on is gone.
Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her father has disappeared—into what the WITSEC agency calls "the blue zone"—and someone close to him is found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy, and her father's menacing "friends" circling with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father—and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.

— Carmen, 2/14/2014" Good book, far from what I would usually pick up... mafia, drug cartel-style, secret identities... chase scenes...My husband would like it! "
— Lauri, 2/13/2014" This book was totally enjoyable with twists and turns and an ending I didn't figure out. I also appreciated the fact that it wasn't 500-700 pages long which seems to be the length of books I've been reading lately. This one was one I could spend a dreary day with and finish before going to sleep. "
— Kay, 2/12/2014" This book really pulled me in. It was a fairly quick read for me. Granted when i read it I was in my freshman year of high school, so I was reading stuff i hadn't learned about yet. I didn't want to put it down, I really enjoyed it. I agree with some that it isn't a life-changing book, however i think it definitely has enough mystery and thriller moments that you can get pretty sucked in. "
— Tiana, 2/8/2014" Could not put this book down...what a good read. "
— Gary, 1/15/2014" I liked the plot with all its twists. Some predictable and others not so much. The only thing that kept me from giving it a higher rating was there was too much swearing. "
— Charlotte, 1/11/2014" Read this book in one day-stayed awake past my bedtime to finish. "
— Nancy, 1/8/2014" One page of stuff I didn't need to know. Still willing to look for more by this author. Very easy read. "
— Kcastro, 12/28/2013" Very intriging. Kept my interest. Not you typical cops & robbers type book. "
