About this ebook

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen, an explosive thriller featuring fan favorite Margaret Douglas, an animal psychic

Margaret Douglas has worked hard to put her painful past behind her. Raised off the grid in an abusive home, her only escape was the nearby forest where she sought refuge whenever she could. There, in the peaceful woods, she discovered a strange gift: the ability to understand animals and to communicate with them. And so those creatures became her only friends, her only joy during a desolate childhood. Now Margaret wants nothing more than to live a quiet life, close to the animals and under the radar. But her abilities have not gone unnoticed and there are those who would use them for their own purposes. Determined not to be a pawn in anyone’s game, every time someone gets too close, Margaret uproots her life and outruns them.

When John Lassiter breaks into Margaret’s apartment, she vanishes again, but Lassiter has good reason to be persistent. As a CIA operative, he owes his life to his men , one of whom is being held captive by an unrelenting enemy—an enemy who has set his sights on Margaret. Which means that Lassiter must control her to use her as bait.

With danger in hot pursuit, Margaret finds herself matching wits with a man who refuses to stop or be stopped. Turning from the hunted to the hunter, Margaret must use everything she has ever learned to not only survive, but to defeat a great evil. And to prove once and for all that she’s no easy target.

Ratings and reviews

Another great read from Iris Johansen. I can honestly say I've never read a book by this author that didn't keep me wanting to read without putting it down, every book has been exceptional. Love the Eve Duncan Series, and all the books that have stemmed from it. My only wish would be that I could afford to read each one as they come out, and not have to wait til could afford to buy or wait for a special sale. My reading habits would be very expensive if I was to read as often as I wished. Lol

It sucked. Bought the paperback. I like the Author, but this was bad.

Great book! Made me want to start at the beginning and get to know the characters better.
