Praise and Reviews

This is an intriguing book that would make an excellent movie. The author does an amazing job of taking you through Megan’s though process and giving you pieces of the past relationship she had with her father. We see what makes her tick as well as getting background on Catherine and Pat. Every character we meet in the story serves a purpose in propelling the story forward.

This is a well-written suspense novel that has every element down from a love story to family relationships, terrorism, murder, good versus evil, corruption. It’s all here. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more of James LePore’s work in the future. - Krysten Hager
