In a cabin by a lake, a mother and father tuck their little girl into bed and kiss her goodnight. But they can’t enjoy the evening summer breeze—because this is no ordinary family on vacation. This is a family with nowhere left to run… and no one left to trust.
When FBI Agent Tori Hunter and Detective Will Braddock are called to a crime scene at a remote hunting cabin, they find blood everywhere. A small pink suitcase has been left behind, filled with children’s clothes and medicine. Has a family been murdered on vacation, or did they run just in time?
The team quickly tracks down the details of the family renting the cabin. But Braddock freezes at the last name. He claims to have never heard it before… but Tori can always tell when her partner is lying.
Furious that Braddock might keep something from her when lives are at stake, when two New York City detectives show up in Minnesota with questions for Braddock her fears are proved right... because there’s a murder case in Braddock’s past he never told Tori about. It took over his life just after his wife died, and forced him out of the city for good. Why did he keep it secret?
Tori has no time for games. Tracking down suppliers of the medicine from the cabin is her one lead to find this family before it’s too late. But with fingers pointing at Braddock, and her own instincts screaming that he’d never betray her or the shield, Tori will have to put her own career on the line to defend the man she trusts above all else—and find the real killer with a deadly score to settle.
Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. This is the 8th book in this series but could be read as a standalone. I have read some of the series but there’s a couple in the middle I seemed to have somehow missed. At first I was a bit out of the loop on a couple of things because of that but Roger explains what is going on so I was very quickly up to speed.
This case is a very intriguing one. I can see why Tori decided to take it on. With Will’s past coming back to haunt him things are far from simple. Will is keeping things from Tori and she isn’t going to let that lie for sure. Will doesn’t want Tori to get caught up in the mess that he thought he’d left behind 8 years ago.
The story is action packed and certainly holds your attention from beginning to end. It was a real struggle to put this book down. If you love a crime thriller with twists and secrets all around then this is definitely for you
