THE BURNING EDGE
Rick Mofina

Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter
Posted December 18, 2011

Thriller

On her way home after selling the cabin her late-husband loved, Lisa Palmer stops for gas -- and becomes a key witness to murder as four bikers rob an armored car, killing the guards, as well as the off-duty FBI agent who is right beside her. Even though Lisa insists she never saw the killer's face, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, Frank Morrow, is sure there is something she can remember to help solve the case.

When an anonymous tipster gives hot-shot journalist Jack Gannon a small piece of vital information to the armored car heist, it will take all the investigative skills Jack possesses to follow the thread that could lead to the story of a lifetime. Finding out there is a key witness the FBI doesn't want anyone to know about just adds to his interest even more. Locating her is a priority for Jack.

Thinking they have gotten away with the perfect crimes, the killers are shocked to learn the FBI has a witness. It's impossible; they planned it out perfectly. What could she have seen? They have no choice but to eliminate her.

This story is an edge-of-your-seat thriller with great characterization and plotline. I could not put it down and am looking for other works by this author.

SUMMARY

Single mother Lisa Palmer has barely recovered from the sudden death of her husband when she is drawn into a new nightmare. On her way home from upstate New York, Lisa stops at a service center minutes before an armored car heist. Four men are executed before her eyesβ€”one of them an off-duty FBI agent Lisa tried to help. Now Lisa is the FBI's secret witness and the key to finding the fugitive killers. FBI agent Frank Morrow leads the investigation of the high-profile case. Hiding a very personal secret, Frank knows this assignment will be like no other he’s ever faced…and it could be his last. Pressured to land an exclusive, newswire journalist Jack Gannon chases down the elusive thread of an anonymous tipster. With every instinct telling Jack the story is within his grasp, he gambles everything in his frantic race to reveal the chilling truth…before the cold-blooded killers can enact the next stage of their vengeful mission.
