Publisher's summary

The #1 New York Times bestselling author and the Edgar Award-winning author are back with a new novel featuring Kendra Michaels - hired gun for both the CIA and FBI.

It's been four months since the events of Sight Unseen, and Kendra Michaels is obsessed with trying to track down serial killer Eric Colby. Despite his apparent execution at San Quentin, Kendra is convinced that Colby is still alive. The trouble is, she can't prove it. Even her razor-sharp powers of observation, honed while blind during the first twenty years of her life, have gotten her nowhere. So no one believes her.

Then out of the blue she gets a call from the Sheriff of Olancha, California, about a young woman being held on a drunk and disorderly charge who lists Kendra as her emergency contact. It's Eve Duncan's sister, Beth Avery, who after being wrongfully institutionalized for five years has been living on the road and trying to figure out her life. Kendra can identify, having gone through a similar period of self-discovery after gaining her sight, and she takes Beth home to San Diego with her.

But the murder of a police detective who had once very openly crossed swords with Kendra is about to complicate her life even further. She visits the crime scene in search of anything that might provide a link to Colby and instead finds evidence that links the crime to her. Finally Colby's master plan becomes clear: he is framing Kendra for a brutal cop-killing.

Suspicions mount along with the body count, and Kendra is thrust into spine-tingling pursuit to clear her name and find the killer no one believes exists anymore. Beth joins her on her quest, and agent-for-hire Adam Lynch soon follows. And they get help from another friend anxious to repay her debt to Kendra...none other than Eve Duncan herself.

AZ Grandma is really hooked!

Once again Iris & Roy Johansen & Elizabeth Rogers have given me many hours of entertainment. I'm looking forward to the next book. I hope Kendra & Lynch act on their feelings for each other in this coming book.

good book, reader...a little raspy

loved the book, love all her books. didn't really care for the person reading it though

love iris she always keeps me on the edge

I must keep up with Kendra she is a great character. now I wait for her next adventure.

Great book

Great Book. Love this author, but not a fan of the reader. Still would buy again though.

a bit gory

more gory than I prefer but a good overal l plot. Engaging charactures, good dialog, and believeable scenery. Not the treat that the first book in the Kendra series, and I keep hoping Adam Lynch will sweep her off her feet and marry her. Ah, well, I am not a writer but only an avid reader. I am going to try at least one of the Eve Duncan boòk. We shall see.

pretty good

the story is good, the writing is fair, the narration is the best part. a bit disappointing given the authors.

LOVE THIS SERIES!!!

So far, I've enjoyed the first 3 books in this series. Iris and Roy do a wonderful job of co-authoring this story-line. Whatever their process is, the story congeals flawlessly. There's never a time that it's obvious that there are two people working on a story. Great job!!!

But the one factor that I think contributes to the success of this series so far is the narrator. Elisabeth Rodgers is so good with voices for different characters. She sure moves up close to the top of my "Favorite Narrators" list.

So worth the credit but start with Book 1.

You won't want to put this one down

I didn't want to put it down it keep me wanting more but then Iris just knows who to get you hooked. I like her heroines and Heroes.

Loved!

This book was well written and well narrated. I enjoyed every minute of it and was happy to be introduced to the tough private detective.

Good book

Typically good Iris Johannesburg novel. Good suspense and fully developed characters. Narrator was excellent, all characters were distinguishable.
