Romance Suspense | Suspense

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!

SUMMARY

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.
