From first chapter to the end of the book, I literally did not know who the bad guys were from the good ones. Highly recommend. You will be thrilled by the ride. I loved it! 5 Stars!" J – Goodreads "Ms. Freethy’s books are so good, but she out did herself on this one. I had a hard time putting this book down, just to make supper for my family! I was trying to determine who was good and who was bad through the whole book. This book is an edge of your seat thriller you don’t want to miss."
