About this audiobook
When her parents were murdered, Hannah Keller was 3,000 miles away, on leave from her job with the Miami Police Department. Her family’s only survivor on that deadly day was Hannah’s six-year-old son Randall. While fishing on the dock behind his grandparents’ house, the boy glimpsed the killers, and later discovered his grandparents’ bullet-riddled bodies.
Five years later the trauma of that day still haunts the boy. He lives in terror that the killers will return for him. Hannah is no longer a cop but now works full time as a novelist, and is trying to do whatever she can to heal her son’s wounds. But when she receives a coded message apparently from her parents’ killers, the entire episode explodes again.
Teaming up with a maverick FBI agent from the Miami field office, Hannah begins to track the killer. As she moves deeper into the labyrinth, she discovers, to her horror, that she and her son are being used as pawns in an elaborate scheme—a trap designed to catch one of the world’s deadliest assassins. Hannah and Randall become entangled in a bitter feud, a burning vendetta, and the mind of a bloodthirsty professional killer.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hannah Keller was the public information officer for the Miami Police Department on the day her parents were murdered. It was also the day her first novel was published. It was two years ago and now the case, never solved, has come back to haunt. I love all of James Hall's books and this one is nearly as good as the rest, but it does have a nearly fatal flaw. I am so weary of children being used as plot toys I could spit. You know from the first minute the kid is introduced that the plot will turn on the kid's safety. Kind of knocks the surprise element in the gut.
