This was a quick read - thriller with a romance thrown in to the mix.

Recv'd today in the mail. Thank you! This is one Iris Johansen book that I haven't read. I'm looking forward to it.

From the cover:
"This time there's nowhere to run...
No place to hide...
No way out of his deadly game...

He is the most terrifying of killers: ruthless, cunning, charismatic. And he has the means to get whatever he wants. And what he wants most is Elena Kyler.

Trained as a sniper by the military, Elena didn't need anyone to survive. But now she finds herself on the run from one dangerous man and turning for help to another. Sean Galen was a man without illusions. He knew it was only desperation that caused Elena to accept his help - a mother's desperation to save her young son from a psychopath. Soon a trail of horrifying murders will follow them across country to a shattering showdown. Here a master killer plans for Elena to commit the ultimate act of betrayal. Only then will he take the one thing she'll have left to give: her life."

Definitely NOT my favorite Iris Johansen novel. Others of hers I've liked really well so this was a let-down for sure. I had a hard time getting to know the characters, the plot line was too "pat", and the romance between Elena and Galen seemed contrived.

RELEASE NOTES:

Left on the counter in the main lobby. Enjoy!
