Publisher's summary

Dawson Scott is a well-respected journalist recently returned from Afghanistan. Haunted by everything he experienced, he's privately suffering from battle fatigue which is a threat to every aspect of his life. But then he gets a call from a source within the FBI. A new development has come to light in a story that began 40 years ago. It could be the BIG story of Dawson's career one in which he has a vested interest.

Soon, Dawson is covering the disappearance and presumed murder of former Marine Jeremy Wesson, the biological son of the pair of terrorists who remain on the FBI's Most Wanted list. As Dawson delves into the story, he finds himself developing feelings for Wesson's ex-wife, Amelia, and her two young sons. But when Amelia's nanny turns up dead, the case takes a stunning new turn, with Dawson himself becoming a suspect. Haunted by his own demons, Dawson takes up the chase for the notorious outlaws...and the secret, startling truth about himself.

Best Book

This is the best book that I have read in a while. It kept my interest from page 1 to the end even though it was long. The narrator was great!

It will be difficult to find a new book to read...

Great!

No one does intrigue and plot twists like Sandra Browne! I’ve been a long time fan and was thrilled to find her books on Audible. This book did not disappoint one iota...read it or listen to it, either way you’ll be drawn in from the get-go!

She Did It Again

Good story! She had me fooled to the end. Maybe I missed it, but was the second child mentioned earlier? But I don't want to give away the book. Sandra Brown writes a great book. Stephen Lang--great job!!

Freaking Awesome

I love Sandra Brown's mysteries. This one kept me on my toes and at the very end, when I thought the story was wrapping up,..there was one more shock.
Gosh I love her mysteries!

Predictable, but enjoyed it

This was my first Sandra Brown listen, and while I enjoyed the story (especially being set in Savannah, GA) - I had basically guessed the end by the time I was half way through. The story was good and entertaining; but the major plot line was predictable. Not sure if I'll try another Sandra Brown book or not ... most reviews are pretty similar.

Good Read!

A mystery, love story, courtroom
drama, seek and find all in one!
Listened to it on Audible on round trip to and from Colorado!
Liked the male voice of author a lot!
The female voice did not fit author’s female character… too breathless/ lifeless!

Great story line. Kept my interest. Characters very believable! I couldn’t stop listening.

Very twisted. When I listen it has to keep me wondering what twist it will take next. It kept me on pins and needles.

EXCELLENT THRILLER

If you could sum up Deadline in three words, what would they be?

suspense-ful
sexy
intense

Who was your favorite character and why?

I can't say without giving away a major plot twist

What about Stephen Lang’s performance did you like?

I love the husky, slow tone of his voice, the way the words roll off his tongue, the emphasis he puts on each one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Being from the Lowcountry of South Carolina, it made me a bit homesick

Any additional comments?

as always, a GREAT book
