Publisher's summary

From #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline comes a pulse-pounding new novel.

Your family has been attacked, never again to be the same.
Now you have to choose between law…and justice.

Jason Bennett is a suburban dad who owns a court-reporting business, but one night, his life takes a horrific turn. He is driving his family home after his daughter’s field hockey game when a pickup truck begins tailgating them, on a dark stretch of road. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever.

Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The agents tell them that the carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization—and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs.

The agents advise the Bennetts to enter the witness protection program right away, and they have no choice but to agree. But WITSEC was designed to protect criminal informants, not law-abiding families. Taken from all they know, trapped in an unfamiliar life, the Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.

Sometimes justice is a one-man show.

Critic reviews

**One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2022**

"Scottoline just keeps ratcheting up the pressure in what may be her most emotionally intense nail-biter to date.”—People

"Just might be the best book Scottoline has ever written, a masterpiece of misdirection, where nothing is as it seems, and a scorching character study of a man at the end of his rope who's not about to go down without a fight."—Providence Journal

“Explosive new complications in the most relentless of all her mysteries. A high-octane thriller whose hero is tossed into one impossible situation after another. Best started early in the morning.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Highly recommended!

This is my first book by the author. I really enjoyed the story. I must say that I was hooked right away which is always a plus. This is a book I enjoyed from start to finish. Edoardo did an excellent job as always bringing the story and characters to life. Not to take anything away from the author, by I don’t know if I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did had I read it on my own.

Fabulous

Shock, surprise, tears, suspense. So many elements in a modern day suburban family drama. Bring in FBI, politics, gangs and social media and WOW.

Wow what a ride!!!

Best thriller I have listened to to in a long time. The story starts out with a bang (literally) and takes you on a thrill ride the entire time. My only complaint is that Lucinda was not fully fleshed out. However, it does not detract from the overall story. Great staycation read because it makes you forget where you are. Enjoy and tell your friends about it. They will thank you!

Couldn’t put this book down.

This book was full of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I finished it in one day and highly recommend it to others. The author is one of my favorites and can’t wait for her next book
