On the surface, Rachel Marin is an ordinary single mother; on the inside, she’s a fierce, brilliant vigilante. After an unspeakable crime shatters her life, she changes her identity and moves to a small town in Illinois, hoping to spare her children from further trauma...or worse. But crime follows her everywhere. When the former mayor winds up dead, Rachel can’t help but get involved. Where local detectives see suicide, she sees murder. They resent her for butting in - especially since she’s always one step ahead. But her investigative genius may be her undoing.

GREAT NEW (to me) AUTHOR!!!
I've never heard of Jason Pinter before but I am so happy to have found him! This is such a good book, written in the style of Brad Parks or Rick Mofina. Henry Parker, the main character is a wannabe investigative reporter.
Henry is trying to become a front page reporter after landing a job with the Gazette in NYC. When a senior reporter decides to give him a chance, Henry jumps on it.
Unfortunately Henry unwittingly stumbles into bedlam. A man is beating the two people Henry had just interviewed, he had left but came back with a few more questions. The man is demanding something from them. Henry can't just walk away, so he and this thug struggle , a gun goes off and the man is dead. He just so happens to be a cop. The next day Henry's face is on the front page with the legend "COP KILLER ".
The police are after him, the mob is after him when the beaten man says that Henry took what the cop was after.
This all happens in the very beginning of the book.
Henry cons a young law student into giving him a ride out of NYC but it backfires and the young woman becomes a second target. From here on it becomes a race to find out the truth and to save their own lives.
Adam Verner does an outstanding job narrating.
With kindle unlimited this book was $7.49.
The book is excellent and has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.

A bit too soapy
I had to abandon this book. The narrator was probably a good choice, but for me his dramatic rendition and the overly self-loathing protagonist was a bad combination. The story is a strong one, even if a bit trite, and i would have liked to have learned the outcome, but I really couldn't listen to all the self-reproach and guilt and endless doubt in the soap-opera-voiceover breathy voice . . .

I love this novel!
Read Audible listener Shelley's review; I agree totally with her take. I want to discuss more this author and this series which are new to me.
The Mark, released in 2007, was the first novel by author Jason Pinter and it is Book 1 in the six novel (plus one novella) Henry Parker series. Yet, I had never heard of him. The first two novels in the series were recently released in audio format (as was the standalone The Castle by Jason Pinter). My hope is that all of Pinter's suspense thriller novels will be released soon in audio format.
The Mark has my highest possible recommendation.

Henry Parker must die
I have never wanted a protagonist to suffer an agonizing end as much as I wanted the insufferably smug Henry Parker to die. Only Pinter's endless stream of hilariously bad similes break the monotony of his Millennial-grade narcissism. If there's any justice, in later books, boy reporter Parker finds himself caught up in the great downsizing that hit newspapers shortly after the time frame of this wretched novel's setting, and now finds himself writing clickbait for Vice as he rapidly approaches 40.
