Publisher's summary

High-octane action, celebrity glamour, and endless possibilities for danger meet in this fast-paced debut for fans of John Sandford and Lee Child.

Still reeling from a devastating personal tragedy, air marshal turned investigator Seth Walker embarks on his first case. All he has to do is accompany female pop star Max Magic to Los Angeles and deliver her to the FBI. But when their routine flight ends in a hail of gunfire at LAX, Walker has no choice but to take the frightened diva on the run.

After a second attack leaves him battered and bloody, Walker realizes he cannot trust the FBI. To keep his client alive, he must use a patchwork of trusted aviation contacts to get her home to Austin, where the key suspects await.

But as they race to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers, the biggest danger of all may be what they’re heading toward—the dark secrets that Max herself has been keeping…

Good guy wins.

I enjoyed hearing this book. The main character is an Air Marshall who tries to do right even when it's, seemingly, impossible. Narrator hit just the right tones.

Excellent Novel

This was my first Joseph Reid novel and I was impressed. The plot was engrossing and filled with twists and turns that kept me interested. Seth Walker was a strong character and interfaced well with all the other characters. I'll be looking for more by this author.

Exciting and entertaining!

Liked the story and the narrator! The main character is very likable and the the plot was great! Kept me guessing. Was looking for other books by author Joseph Reid and found out that this was his debut novel! That was a surprise, as this book felt like it was written by a seasoned writer! Keep writing because I’d like to read more novels you!

Action Packed

I really liked this one. No sex scenes and the bad language was kept to a minimum. The deep rustic voice of the narrator fit perfectly. My favorite scene was the interrogation at the end. Recommended for action lovers.

Reacher-like

good book, entertaining and lots of action. Similar to Jack Reacher in that every guy would like to be like him.
