Synopsis

The #1 New York Times bestselling author and the Edgar Award-winning author are back with a new novel featuring Kendra Michaels—hired gun for both the CIA and FBI.It’s been four months since the events of Sight Unseen, and Kendra Michaels is obsessed with trying to track down serial killer Eric Colby. Despite his apparent execution at San Quentin, Kendra is convinced that Colby is still alive. The trouble is, she can’t prove it. Even her razor-sharp powers of observation, honed while blind during the first twenty years of her life, have gotten her nowhere. So no one believes her.Then out of the blue she gets a call from the Sheriff of Olancha, California, about a young woman being held on a drunk and disorderly charge who lists Kendra as her emergency contact. It’s Eve Duncan’s sister, Beth Avery, who after being wrongfully institutionalized for five years has been living on the road and trying to figure out her life. Kendra can identify, having gone through a similar period of self-discovery after gaining her sight, and she takes Beth home to San Diego with her.But the murder of a police detective who had once very openly crossed swords with Kendra is about to complicate her life even further. She visits the crime scene in search of anything that might provide a link to Colby and instead finds evidence that links the crime to her. Finally Colby’s master plan becomes clear: he is framing Kendra for a brutal cop-killing.Suspicions mount along with the body count, and Kendra is thrust into spine-tingling pursuit to clear her name and find the killer no one believes exists anymore. Beth joins her on her quest, and agent-for-hire Adam Lynch soon follows. And they get help from another friend anxious to repay her debt to Kendra…none other than Eve Duncan herself.

I'm not sure why I am continuing with this series!!!! Perhaps it's because I have been a diehard fan of Iris Johansen for years and years.........but I am not crazy about the Kendra Michaels series that she co-writes with her son. The first book, Close Your Eyes, [URL not allowed]......more

4 Stars. We've all been in the same place as Kendra Michaels. We know something; it doesn't have to be important but it's a certainty, and we tell a friend or a loved one. They may even patronize us in their denial. Kendra knows, without a doubt, that serial killer Eric Colby, who everyone thinks wa......more

4 stars! This series is really growing on me (although if something doesn't go down between Kendra and Lynch soon, I am going to be throwing these books at the wall). No just kidding, but really... This book picked up right where the last one left off, and all my questions were answered so I guess yo......more

Having had a surgery that has restored that sight, this only adds to Kendra's other exceptional skills. Waking up after a hor......more

I am so glad I finished #2. Whil......more
