DON'T LOOK FOR ME is the fourth book in the Carter Blake series,
and my introduction to author Mason Cross. It is a
chilling, exciting adventure to find Carol Langford a.k.a.
Rebecca and her husband Dom Smith.
Sarah is divorced, she worked as a journalist for a large
newspaper for 13 years
and now is a successful author. In Summerlin, Nevada, her
home is in a lovely sub-division of pricey houses. Sarah
lives across from a home that is used by a lawyer as a
rental and one day it is empty and the next, a car is in
the driveway and two people are living there. No moving
truck, no unloading of a car, they simply appeared. A tall
redhead with a mate that seldom leaves the house. One day,
the window is open and Sarah hears the couple arguing. She
listens but can not make our what the argument is about.
When the redhead went to close the window, she sees Sarah
watching, The new neighbor appears at Sarah's door the
next morning with an introduction and a bottle of expensive
wine. They begin to have coffee together and occasionally
go out to lunch. When a neighbor invites Sarah to a baby
shower, Sarah insists that Rebecca come too. They were
having beers and enjoying a backyard barbeque when
Domenic Smith arrives trying to whisk his wife home due to
some emergency. As they are departing, the hostess takes a
photograph of them.
The next morning their car is gone and so are they. Sarah
is upset. Days later she finds a key to the house in a
planter and enters and searches the house. No personal
things are left. The only thing she finds is a notebook
which had fallen behind the bed. In it were sketches,
names, mentions of small towns in Arizona, a photo, and an
e-mail address. When the police arrive after being called
by Sarah, they find nothing to investigate and tell Sarah
they will probably return soon. That did not happen.
Sarah used the e-mail to ask for help. The e-mail address
belongs to Carter Blake.
Mason Cross tells a thrilling tale. Our hero, Carter Blake
was Special-Ops specializing in finding people who did
not want to be found. After his last assignment, he takes a
sabbatical and is enjoying the beach at Grand Isle in
Louisiana. He loves the weather, the gulf, and the peace
and quiet. He runs, reads books, and eats out at a different
spot each night. What could be better? He makes the
acquaintance of Emily, a local gal who loves to run too.
She asks Mason for help with a man that is stalking her.
He is a local mechanic. Mason gives him a good beating and
a stern warning to leave Emily alone or else. Mason
receives the e-mail from Sarah and when he sees the
picture attached, it is his old girlfriend, Carol, who six
years ago disappeared and left him a note, "Don't look for
me." Mason calls to tell Sarah that help is on the way.
He is off to Summerlin.

deadly. Secrets, lies, betrayals, a dirty cop, and

A nail-biting new thriller — perfect for fans of Jack
Reacher, Alex Cross, and Jason Bourne — about the desperate

kept that promise. She was a woman on the run — a woman with
a secret many would kill for. It was better that she stay
hidden.
But now someone else is looking for her. Trenton Gage is a
hitman with a talent for finding people — dead or alive. And

loved, a woman on the run. With both men hunting the same
person, the question is: Who will find her first?
A riveting new thriller from Mason Cross, ideal for readers
of David Baldacci, Linwood Barclay, and Mark Billingham.
