Here is another exciting 'romantic suspense' novel, from a prolific American mistress of the genre, Irene Hannon, recipient of multiple honours, including two RITA awards (the 'Oscar' of romantic fiction). The book held my attention right through to its dramatic climax. The author has done her research and consulted her advisors thoroughly on matters that are central to the book, such as the Mafia, the Witness Security programme, health concerns and allergies, and paramedic / rescue procedures. The quotations from the Bible and positive references to church added to my enjoyment.

Though her father?s death was ruled a suicide, Kelly Warren believes he was murdered. The police refuse to investigate until Kelly is targeted. Finding this incident more than mere coincidence, Det. Cole Taylor digs for clues and uncovers a connection between Kelly and an old crime. Somebody wants Kelly dead. VERDICT Compelling characters and edge-of-your-seat action make this a winning finale to two-time RITA Award winner Hannon?s ?Guardians of Justice? series (Deadly Pursuit; Fatal Judgment). While this tale of romantic suspense is a sure bet for fans, it can also be read as a stand-alone and should garner new readers who enjoy the thrillers of Sibella Giorello.
