Didn’t Like It “I could not wait until I was done with this book on tape. The woman, who is supposed to be the heroine, often had no common sense. The story line was obsurd. I found the book irritating overall.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Fast paced political thriller with all the requisite convoluted plots, deep in the government traitors and a romance angle. But seriously, I couldn't put it down (twice, I forgot I read it). Brain candy again. :)”

Yes | No“The #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen returns with an electrifying and all-too-plausible thriller that pushes the level of suspense to the maximum and never lets up. From the tense opening scene to the final explosive page, Johansen delivers a knockout novel, as an unlikely pair of allies must expose a team of killers hiding behind an unspeakable act of terror—and risk ending up their next target. She witnesses death through the eye of her camera. Now a relentless killer is focused on her. A celebrated photojournalist, Alex Graham has seen it all—but her latest assignment has forced her across a dangerous line. What happens when a reporter does more than just report? She has recorded some of the most tragic and heartbreaking of catastrophes, everything from natural disasters to infamous acts of terror. Her experiences have left her forever marked with the human side of tragedy. So when a dam breaks in Arapahoe Junction, Colorado, Alex is once more at the site doing more than just snapping pictures—she is in the mud with a shovel digging for survivors. What happens when the reporter becomes the story? Alex finds more than she bargained for. In one terrible instant, she is witness to a conspiracy that will stun a nation. The official story is just a cover-up for a truth so frightening, so unthinkable, anyone who threatens to reveal it must be silenced. Forever. And now that someone is Alex Graham. The first attempt on her life is swift and brutal. Only barely escaping, she finds an ally in an improbable source. Billionaire financier John Logan has his own reasons for protecting Alex, and these reasons alone are likely to get her killed. Using his vast connections and influences, Logan assigns a bodyguard to protect her. Judd Morgan is the best covert commando in the business, and if anyone can keep Alex safe, it’s this quietly dangerous man. The problem is, Alex doesn’t want to be kept safe by Judd, whose checkered past has made him the target of an unseen assassin who dogs his every step.

“Interesting story about corrupt government officials. I'm going through some of my old books and this is one of them that I hadn't read.”

“Too wordy for the story. Not a guy book. Too many characters.”

I liked the story but the language was pretty bad and there is a lot of sexual tension and talk.”
“The book overall was very good. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end. Its has suspence, action, and some mystery. I would recomend it to anyone who like these kinds of things.”
