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.
