Pursuit

US Marshal Dirk Sterling, Book 5

By: Jodi Burnett

Narrated by: Nick Cracknell

A US MARSHAL THRILLER

When a former Army Ranger Ian McCallum turned contract killer, escapes FBI custody and disappears into the remote wilderness of Montana, Deputy U.S. Marshal Dirk Sterling is sent to track him down. But this isn’t an everyday fugitive hunt—McCallum is racing toward the Canadian border to meet a contact who can make him disappear forever.

If he gets out of the country, he’ll vanish along with classified military secrets that could put countless lives at risk. Dirk must stop him—but he’s not the only one hunting. Rival agencies, ruthless bounty hunters, and a private black-ops team all have their own reasons for wanting McCallum, and they don’t care who gets in their way.

Back in Billings, Dirk’s fiancé, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Emory Grey uncovers a devastating truth: McCallum’s escape wasn’t pure luck. Someone inside the one of the federal agencies helped him get away. When Emory starts digging too deep, she becomes the next target. Dirk is forced to make an impossible choice—stay on McCallum’s trail or race back to protect his new family and the woman he loves.

I love that these characters are a bit older and found love. I also love that they adopted the kids and created a family.

There is nothing to dislike. It deals with bipolar diseases very well and tastefully.
