Synopsis

In the second book in Nikki Owen’s electrifying Project trilogy, it’s clear that no matter how fast you run, the past always catches up with you. Dr. Maria Martinez is out of prison, exonerated of a murder she still doesn’t remember. But even though she’s a free woman, she’s on the run. A file exists, the contents of which could mean life or death for Maria. And members of the Project, the ruthless underground organization that framed her for murder, are after her because of it. To escape their grasp, she must find the file and then retreat to the safety of her family home in Spain. Little does she know that this might be the most dangerous place of all, and that to survive, she’ll have to keep one step ahead.

Not a bad concept, but the story stumbled in dialogue and narrative which continually dragged me back out of the story. It feels like a draft that never went through the editing process and as a result was rather painful to get through.......more

Quotes

“A must-have.” Sunday Express (London)

“Author Nikki Owen keeps the tension running high in this satisfying new thriller…a nail-biter that promises a strong finish to this trilogy.” Foreword Reviews

“An exhilarating roller-coaster ride of a novel with some truly surprising twists and turns—but what really made it stand out for me was the character at its heart. I can’t wait to see where Nikki Owen—and Dr Maria Martinez—will take us next.” Catherine Ryan Howard, USA Today bestselling author

“[Maria faces] fierce battles, narrow escapes, and surprising revelations.” Publishers Weekly

“This trilogy’s first novel won a strong following on social media, attracting readers with its strong suspense and the unique perspective of a protagonist with Asperger’s.
