About this audiobook
He strikes without warning....he kills without mercy....he's only just begun....
Iris Johansen, the New York Times bestselling author of The Killing Game and The Face of Deception, delivers a gripping new novel of breathtaking suspense and explosive adventure. It is the story of a courageous woman who is coerced into tracking down a ruthless killer--but as she hunts out her prey with stunning accuracy, she becomes the object of his wrath....
As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can--whether it's a survivor buried alive by an earthquake or the skeleton of a murdered child. But their latest assignment is not like the others. This time Sarah is being forced to take part in a deadly mission...by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation. A man who won't take no for an answer. John Logan is used to getting what he wants, and what he wants now is Sarah's help. His top-secret venture has been sabotaged, its facilities destroyed, and its handpicked staff massacred. The sole survivor is being held for ransom. Logan knows that the only way to save the man--and the secrets he holds--is to find him as soon as possible.
Smart, tough, and uncompromising, Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, she realizes that Logan's promises that she and Monty will be safe may not be enough to protect them. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance...and he may soon find use for Sarah. Racing against time to stop the bloodshed before more victims are claimed, both Sarah and Logan will look straight into the heart of true evil. And when the killer's search for revenge finally ends, no one will ever be the same again....

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is book 3 in the Eve Duncan series. Eve is not a major character is this book. Sarah Patrick and John Logan are the major players in their own mystery/suspense adventure. It's nice to see these characters evolve, but as far as Eve Duncan goes, in my opinion it would be a spin-off.
This book is about a revenge plot against Logan. Sarah is, once again blackmailed into helping Logan. As the story continues, despite the danger that awaits them, Sarah and Logan find themselves falling in love. Knowing that no one is off limits to Rudzak, Logan makes it his mission to locate and kill Rudzak in order to protect Sarah and Monty.
The book is good, it's just not really one that I would consider and Eve Duncan read. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I didn't like the story much because there's no much story. In the beginning it was pretty okay but when the middle part approached it seemed that it became slow paced. I think it would be better if there were additional twists to occupy the reader's minds.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting story of a woman, her rescue dog, the multimillionaire who hires her and involves her in his messy private life and a wolf. An easy but compelling read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting characters. Maybe a little too much baggage on them though. Like Sarah and Monty though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.7 Best part-Loved the dog rescue and how attentive the owner handler was.Worst part-The dog handlers choices didn't always follow her talk. Over all I enjoyed this suspense read. I am a sucker for a book with a dog, got me right there. Then they toped it with a really nasty villain, and sexy alpha man and an equally alpha woman. I was left guessing till the end, which is always nice.I will go back and read the first 2 books in this series before moving on more.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5“If you get my dog killed, you’ll wish you’d never been born”Sarah Patrick and her dog Monty are inseparable; they have to be in order to do a good job as a search and rescue partnership. After an unscrupulous politician “lends” Sarah to John Logan, a businessman whose interests in South America have gone awry, Sarah is dragged into John’s life more firmly than she would like. John’s nemesis has realised how valuable she is to him and is determined to make the most of that knowledge…Well, this book fixed my reading funk.Sarah is a very sympathetic character, deeply caring for those in need but generally quite misanthropic; her razor wit catches Logan out quite a few times. Logan is stubborn and wants to get his own way all the time, but becomes much more likeable as the book goes on, despite his shady connections. Seth Galen, Logan’s right hand man, was a solid and entertaining minor character; ditto Margaret, his iron-fisted personal assistant.I really appreciated that the plot was not overly complex – there was one key search at the start, and then the rest of the book built towards the eventual showdown at Dodsworth. While there was plenty of action in the meantime, it was more character development rather than plot driving.I struggled with the romance that developed – while I could understand that Sarah had to be important to Logan, she already was as a friend of a friend who had performed a good service for him and saved his life. It felt like the author had handed over the book and the editor had come back with “where’s the romance? Insert please”. Anyhow it was realistic and fit into the plot… it just seemed unnecessary and predictable.The book was clearly part of a series (there is closure in a long-running story arc) but it worked very well as a standalone.A highly enjoyable thriller with a great protagonist.
