Coming from five generations of Texas Rangers, Caitlin
Strong held the traditions of honor and duty in high
regard. Then she started to question herself following a
terrible confrontation along the Mexican border that left
her wounded -- and her partner dead. Five years have
passed. In that time, Caitlin quit the Rangers and started
dealing with the guilt of being a survivor. She went back
to school and is now applying for a job as a
counselor/therapist at the Survivor Center for Victims of
Torture.
When Caitlin meets the center's most recent patient, a PTSD
man with amnesia who was physically and mentally tortured
worse than any of the others, Caitlin is in for the shock
of her life. This devastating discovery has far-reaching
consequences as Caitlin soon finds herself reopening an
investigation into the border incident from five years ago -
with more recent ramifications.
When she realizes that to learn the truth she must work
with Cort Wesley Masters, a ruthless ex-con she put behind
bars years ago, Caitlin fears the outcome. Cort has just
been released from prison because of a DNA technicality.
The last thing he wants to do is help the woman who put him
behind bars in the first place. But it seems neither of
them has a choice, since the stakes could not be any
higher. They must uncover a terrifying plot to bring down
the country.
Wow! Talk about a kick-butt, knock-your-socks-off action
thriller! This one will have you reading long into the
night, since you won't want to put it down until the final
page is turned. With a heroine who's as tough as they come
and an anti-hero who unconsciously (and awkwardly) evolves
into a hero, Jon Land has outdone himself with
STRONG ENOUGH TO DIE. I'm telling everyone I know who loves
tense, taut thrillers that this one should not be missed.
It's going on my keeper shelf for reading again. Yes, it's
that great!
Caitlin Strong is a fifth-generation Texas Ranger, proud
to wear the badge of her father and grandfather — until a
deadly shoot-out along the Mexican border causes her to
question her calling.
Five years later, Caitlin is
still trying to purge herself of guilt from the day that
ended her Ranger career. But a shattering discovery will
reopen old wounds, and Caitlin’s renewed investigation
into the truth behind the bloody desert firefight uncovers
a terrifying plot that reaches into every home and
threatens the very core of the country.
Her only
hope for success — and survival — is to team up with Cort
Wesley Masters, a deadly outlaw who has every reason to
want her dead. But he also holds the key to the truth she
desperately seeks in the anguished brain of an amnesiac
torture victim.
Caitlin’s tormented quest for
redemption takes her to a dark world, ranging from
Washington to Bahrain to the wastelands of Mexico, as she
finds that the strength to live comes from learning how to
die.
