When life is too perfect, things have to shatter. In Andrew
Gross's first solo debut, THE BLUE ZONE, Kate Raab had it
all. She had the ideal family, an inspiring career, and the
man of her dreams. In one fretful phone call everything
splintered. Kate's father, Benjamin Raab, had been arrested
by the FBI for money laundering, tax evasion, and
racketeering with the Columbian Mercado drug cartel. Kate's
father was a gold merchant not a member of a drug mafia. She
blamed her father's arrest on the fantasy of undercover
agents and conspiring business partners looking to save
their own hides. The truth, Kate thought, would come out,
her father would be set free, and she could return back to
having it all. As the family comes together to rally support
for their father, a man quietly sweeps into their wealthy
suburban neighborhood and unloads a machine gun into their
home in order to wake them to the truth.
A line had been crossed. Kate knew she'd never have a chance
to go back to her old life. The Witness Protection Program
immediately forces the Raab family into a new life. Kate
makes a hard choice to stay with the only man she has ever
loved. Life seems to smooth out for the next year until
disastrous things begin to happen that revolves around her
family. Can Kate trust her father? Is someone trying to kill
her? Will she ever return back to a normal life? As chaos
reigns, Kate learns of a family vendetta that runs deeper
than blood. Now, can she learn the rest of the truth before
it kills her.
Andrew Gross, co-author of seven novels with James
Patterson, has got plot twists and killer pacing that causes
every page to flip. The buzz of FBI codes, Witness
Protection jargon, and medical-speak feels well researched
and authentic. In his three book deal with HarperCollins
imprint William Morris, Gross is an author who delivers on
mystery and thrills. I suggest that you grab a copy of THE
BLUE ZONE because Gross is going to be big.
From the number one New York Times bestselling
coauthor of Judge & Jury and Lifeguard comes
this electrifying solo debut, The Blue Zone.
Kate Raab's life seems almost perfect: her boyfriend, her
job, her family . . . until her father runs into trouble
with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his
former accomplices in exchange for his family's placement in
the Witness Protection Program. But one of them gets cold
feet. In a flash, everything Kate can count on is gone.
Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her
father has disappeared—into what the WITSEC agency calls
"the blue zone"—-and someone close to him is found brutally
murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI
untrustworthy, and her father's menacing "friends" circling
with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her
father—-aand uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep
buried.
