Joe Pike is back and he is frantically trying to keep a young woman alive. The girl was involved with a car accident. When she tries to take responsibility for her actions, it seems that someone wants her to keep quiet - forever. Pike's old training officer convinces the girl's father that Pike is the man who can keep his daughter safe. Larkin Conner Barkley keeps Pike quite busy doing that and Pike has also decided that he has to do more than keep the girl safe. He also has to find out who is behind the plot to kill Barkley. In usual Pike style, there will be a few more dead bodies before he is done with the job.
Joe Pike is a fascinating character. He is strong and tough. He shoots to kill without regret and still, he is one of the good guys. It is interesting to see him appreciate and come to care for Larkin. As usual, Elvis Cole adds a lighter touch to the tense situation. He also offer perspective on Pike. I loved the tense drama and although the plot was sometimes a little convoluted, this was a book on CD that made me glad for a few extra minutes in the car.
Rating - 5 stars
