Once
again Christy Barritt has written a very gripping novel that you will find yourself
drawn into from the very first page. While reading it you may have a sense of déjà
vu as the story line is somewhat similar to a real life “ripped from the
headlines” story from a couple years ago here in the US. In fact, while reading Ms. Barritt’s story,
I began to think how a totally different situation could have been possible in
that case.
When Nikki Wright
received word her Navy Seal brother, Bobby, had escaped from a terrorist camp
in Colombia, South America where he had been held captive, all she wanted to do
was to get Bobby home safe. She also wanted to make sure he got the help he
needed. Never would she think their country would start spreading lies that he
was in with the terrorists. Turning to a family friend for legal help, Nikki is
sure she will be able to get Bobby the help he needs before handing him over to
the government for debriefing. After a close encounter with someone trying to
kill them, Nikki isn’t sure who can be trusted.
Even though Bobby is
acting paranoid and unstable he knows the only person he can trust to help him
and Nikki is Kade Wheaton, another former Seal. Nikki was not happy with that
call, since she has yet to forgive Kade for what she sees as an unforgivable betrayal.
On the run Nikki has to
come to terms with her feelings of disillusionment with her country, with the
abandonment of a God who stopped caring about her years ago and deal with her
fickle heart that still seems to beat for Kade; all while trying to convince
her country of her brother’s innocence in what appears to be an upcoming terrorist
attack!!
I will have to say
Christy Barritt is one of the most talented suspense writers ever! Each one of
her books I’ve read leave you feeling like you’ve just taken an exhilarating walk,
no, maybe a jog, or better yet a run for your life! Just when you think you
might have figured out who is causing all the madness, murder or mayhem, she
shocks you with something out of the blue and you end up going WOW!! Thank you
Ms. Barritt for adding some much needed excitement to my life!!
