Hannah Whitfield is not only struggling with the death of
her best friend, Angelina, but ever since her car accident
and her loss of hearing, she's burying herself with pain
killers and Johnny Walker. That is until Vinh Murphy shows
up at her door as lost as she is -- and the unthinkable
happens, which forces him to disappear again. But when the
man responsible for Angelina's death turns up dead, Hannah
and Vinh work together conducting their own investigation
to find out if Vinh could have done such a murderous thing
during one of his blackouts.
Vinh Murphy's world fell apart the day his wife, Angelina,
was murdered right in front of him. The only person he can
go to for help in making him feel real again is Hannah.
Unfortunately, he makes a huge mistake during one of his
crazy binges, so he disappears. After six months of
running, Vinh returns to Hannah only to find out that the
FBI is looking for him in connection with the death of the
man responsible for killing his wife. Vinh doesn't remember
whether he crossed the line or not due to his blackouts,
but with help from Hannah and his friends, they will
discover the truth.
INTO THE FIRE, Suzanne Brockmann's 13th book in the
best-selling Troubleshooter series, is absolutely
phenomenal! The depth of the characters is extraordinary
and the details are fabulous. She definitely gives Tom
Clancy a run for his money!
Suspense doesn’t burn any brighter and desire doesn’t run
any deeper than when Suzanne Brockmann takes the helm, opens
the throttle, and takes readers along for a breathless ride
as she breaks the thrill barrier–again and again. With Into
the Fire, Brockmann lights the fuse on her most explosive
story yet.
Vinh Murphy–ex-Marine and onetime
operative for the elite security firm Troubleshooters
Incorporated–has been MIA ever since his wife, Angelina, was
caught in a crossfire and killed during what should have
been a routine bodyguard assignment. Overcome with grief,
Murphy blames the neo-Nazi group known as the Freedom
Network for her death. Now, years later, Freedom Network
leader Tim Ebersole has been murdered–and the FBI suspects
Murphy may have pulled the trigger. To prevent further
bloodshed, Murphy’s friends at Troubleshooters scramble to
find him and convince him to surrender
peacefully.
Murphy himself can’t be sure what he did
or didn’t do during the years he spent mourning and lost in
an alcohol-induced fog. He does know he occasionally sought
solace from Hannah Whitfield, a former police officer and
the very friend who’d introduced him to his beloved late
wife.
But Hannah, still grappling with the deafness
that resulted from an injury sustained while on duty, was
fighting her own battles. For years Hannah had feelings for
Murphy, and one painful night their suffering brought them
together in a way neither expected–and both
regretted.
Murphy is ready to rejoin the living. As
always, he finds himself knocking on Hannah’s door, and as
always, his longtime friend welcomes him back into her home.
Yet even as Murphy slowly rebuilds his splintered life, he
continues to fight his growing feelings for Hannah.
Then he learns of Ebersole’s murder and comes to
believe that the Freedom Network has targeted him–and
Hannah–to avenge their leader’s death to violence. Now
Murphy must face the terrifying prospect of losing another
woman he loves.
As the Troubleshooters desperately
search for him, Murphy races toward a deadly confrontation
with the Freedom Network and ultimate choice: surrender his
life in hopes that Hannah will be spared, or risk everything
to salvage whatever future they may have together.
