About this ebook

FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock are faced with the case of an abducted child in this “absorbing”(Publishers Weekly) FBI Thriller.

Escaping unwanted media attention after a notorious incident, Ramsey Hunt retreats into the solitude of a cabin high in the Colorado Rockies. But his isolation is shattered when he rescues a small girl in the forest and strangers invade his private meadow with intent to kill.

Molly Santera, the little girl’s mother, catches up with Ramsey and her daughter, mistaking him for the kidnapper. When she discovers that he instead saved Emma, there’s little time for thanks. With the strangers in pursuit, the trio flee to Chicago for sanctuary.

With an unexpected assist from FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock, Molly and Ramsey begin to unravel the clues, and in the process they make an astonishing discovery as to the true nature of the target.

Ratings and reviews

I have read The Cove and The Maze and was totally enthralled. But this book was a disappointment. It started off really strong, intense but then it drug on without any real suspense. I began to become disinterested and almost stopped reading. However, I did continue and then there was a small bombshell at the end.

None of C Coulter's books disappoint. This on was great. I couldn't put it down.

Read this book when it was first published. Just finished rereading again, still enjoy it the second time around.
