Publication Information
The picture was a warning: they'd found her. For eight years Grace Archer hoped this day wouldn't come–and knew in her heart that it would.
She'd taken her daughter, Frankie, to a rural Alabama horse farm that might just as well have been at the end of the earth. But the man out to kill them would gladly follow them that far. And now, it seems, he had.
A woman with a highly classified past, Grace had never run from anything in her life. But as a mother, she'd do anything to keep eight-year-old Frankie safe. Now that safe world has been shattered, and a ferocious hunter has been unleashed. Suddenly the agency that owed Grace its gratitude and protection has abandoned her and only one ally remains: a man even more dangerous than her worst enemy.
'The Johansen formula works so well in this novel that readers may expect a sequel.' - Publishers Weekly.
'A forced, hackneyed thriller...a blurry suspense story directed at the reader's feminine side. ' - Kirkus.
