Jack Lancaster worked as a consultant to the FBI with a deep affinity
for cold cases. He is good at solving those but mostly he keeps an eye
out for those that hint at fires. As a survivor himself, he knows that his
enemy is still out there, despite what the law says. Though he is good
at what he does he is finding that is that the more of these cases he
solves the darker he feels. Then Winter Meadows walks into his life as
his meditation therapist. She soon makes him feel UNTOUCHABLE, no worries about the past or danger,
no darkness, finally at peace. He certainly would like to get to know this
woman better, but he fears his past would endanger her. While trying to
find him, Zane has returned. The evil con man now has money and
power and wants to get rid of past worries, starting with Jack and his
family.
Winter Meadows is an orphan with an innate ability for hypnosis, which
she used as a child to save a fellow foster child from a predator and
was taken in by that girl's aunts, giving the stability she never
expected. But complications are a part of her life as she is on the run
from a stalker. She thought she had handled the problem but stalkers
don't always go away easily, so as she helps Jack, she finds she needs
his help too.
UNTOUCHABLE is the finale of
author Jayne Ann Krentz's Cutler,
Sutter and Salinas trilogy, and wow what an absolutely perfect
way to end this series. For those who have not read the other books
(WHEN ALL THE GIRLS HAVE
GONE and PROMISE NOT TO
TELL) Max Cutler, Cabot Sutter, and Jack are survivors of a fire set
by cult leader Quinton Zane. The children were rescued by the man
who would become the boys' foster father Anson Salinas, but their
mothers did not survive. You need not read those books first, as UNTOUCHABLE is a stand-alone, but
for the full impact, you just might want to read them in order.
UNTOUCHABLE is an engrossing
page-turner that flows smoothly, with characters that come to life as
realistic and likable or in the case of the bad guy, and as there is really
more than one involved here, you can't wait for them to get theirs. We
also get to go back to Ms. Krentz's world of Eclipse Bay and one of my
favorite characters Arizona Snow, who has adopted Jack and Winter as
people who belong to the Bay. The brothers, wives, and foster father all
jump in to help put an end to the nightmares they have all endured --
but you will have to read UNTOUCHABLE to navigate through all the twists and
turns expected in a Jayne Ann Krentz novel. Just do as I did ... sit
down, hold on and enjoy!
A man's quest to find answers for those who are haunted
by the past leads him deeper into the shadows in this
electrifying novel from the New York Times
bestselling author of Promise Not to Tell.
Quinton Zane is back.
Jack Lancaster, consultant to the FBI, has always been drawn
to the coldest of cold cases, the kind that law enforcement
either considers unsolvable or else has chalked up to
accidents or suicides. As a survivor of a fire, he finds
himself uniquely compelled by arson cases. His almost
preternatural ability to get inside the killer's head has
garnered him a reputation in some circles--and complicated
his personal life. The more cases Jack solves, the closer he
slips into the darkness. His only solace is Winter Meadows,
a meditation therapist. After particularly grisly cases,
Winter can lead Jack back to peace.
But as long as Quinton Zane is alive, Jack will not be at
peace for long. Having solidified his position as the power
behind the throne of his biological family's hedge fund,
Zane sets out to get rid of Anson Salinas's foster sons,
starting with Jack.
