Lisa Harris' newest book features psychologist Grace Callahan, who is abruptly jerked into a dangerous mystery involving one of her clients. Set in Dallas Texas, the story opens with the recently divorced Grace escaping from an intruder, who wants something that she does not understand.
Detective Nate Quinn is just back on duty following the death of his partner in a bombing that he barely survived. Dealing with both survivor's guilt, a new partner, and the rigors of a new case, he is surprised to be back in contact with Grace. He was good friends with Grace's ex-husband in college, and is startled to find that they are no longer married. Nate is drawn to protect Grace for reasons he does not yet understand - and time is running out for them to solve the dangerous mystery.
I have always enjoyed Lisa Harris' books; although this one is no exception, it won't make it to my favorites list from her. This was primarily due to the repeated near escapes our main characters had, which at some point seemed over the top and did not ring completely true for me. However, the characters have depth and potential. I do still recommend this book - perhaps you will see the drawbacks I mention much differently! And, I highly recommend the author's other books, especially the Nikki Boyd and Southern Crimes series.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Baker Publishing Group in exchange for my honest opinion.
