Description
A school shooting in snowbound Vermont; an American journalist beheaded in war-torn Syria; a passenger jet exploding in the Thai jungle—everything connects to Kate Swift, CIA assassin turned whistleblower, on the run from a sinister intelligence unit.
With her six-year-old daughter, Suzie, she flees across the Canadian border to begin a perilous journey to Berlin and then Thailand in search of the only man who can keep them alive: Harry Hook, a disgraced ex–CIA case officer living rough in the wilderness, battling the bottle and ghosts from his past.
Can Hook conjure an inspired but desperate plan that will save Kate and Suzie and bring him the redemption he yearns for?

Thriller following a widowed mother with her small daughter. Kate is an ex-operative who exposed a cover up which led to the death of her husband. She runs to find Henry Hook in Thailand to get help. There are a lot of subplots and twists as no one can be trusted. Overall a thrilling read.

Very interesting book and premise, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I can't wait for it to release so I can give a more formal review.

***4 Stars***
I highly recommend this book, great character development and well written with non-stop action. This was a complex read, with many intricate story lines. I should have made a flow chart at the beginning to keep track of everything that was going on, because one particular story line I lost some interest in because there was so much to follow. I read a fellow Goodread's review that compares this book to the show "Homeland", and I couldn't agree more. This story involves government conspiracy, terrorism threats, love affairs and complex relationships.
The story begins when Kate single handedly stopping a school shooting at her daughter's school. When news outlets immediately portray Kate on the news as a rightful hero, Kate takes her daughter and they go on the run as it turns out they have been hiding their identity from the government as Kate has been accused of treason. From that moment on this book never slows down in intensity and action.
