Suspense

Andrea Finch, a rising star in her department makes a split second decision that derails everything she has worked so hard for. She's on leave and at loose ends when she gets a call from her brother. He needs money and though she would prefer to ignore him, instinct tells her there is something really wrong. She finds herself searching a dusty Texas border town for answers. She is so hoping her brother isn't too FAR GONE for her to be able to help him. FBI agent Jon North is working undercover investigating an unsolved murder that just maybe part of a bigger, deadlier plot. He meets Andrea and finds that evidence is pointing straight to her brother. Jon needs Andrea's help but this stubborn cop doesn't feel too cooperative, even if she is attracted to the agent. Together they race the clock to uncover and stop this deadly plot, while Andrea protects her only sibling. In doing so she may put a final end to her career and build an impenetrable wall between her and her hearts desire. FAR GONE will have you gripping the edge of your seat. The action is fast-paced with just the right touches of suspense and much needed breaks to include a heated romance. Andrea and Jon feed off each other perfectly, both are no nonsense when it comes to law and are not willing to deviate from the path of right. It's the romance and relationship side that they differ, but still with the goal in mind to win. The tension is very real both between them and the case that unfolds around them. I did like the way he felt the need to nudge her to fight for her job when she was just ready to pack it in. He made her understand that groveling and calling in favors are very different things. Author Laura Griffin has the ability to put you right in the middle of the action so realistically that you will find yourself ready to duck and run at times. FAR GONE is a very good book that is going into my to read again shelf.

SUMMARY

To save her only brother, Andrea Finch must face down a criminal mastermind, the FBI, and her own demons in this thrilling novel from the author of the bestselling Tracers series. Police detective Andrea Finch is a rising star in her department until a split-second decision derails her career. Disgraced and disillusioned, she’s on leave from her job when she gets an urgent call from her younger brother. She’d prefer to ignore his latest plea for cash, but this time instinct tells her something is very wrong. Andrea’s search for answers takes her to a dusty Texas border town where danger lurks in plain sight and nothing is quite what it seems. FBI agent Jon North is working undercover in west Texas investigating an unsolved murder that may be linked to a broader plot. But when the evidence points to Andrea’s brother, Jon finds that persuading the stubborn cop to help will be harder than cracking his toughest case. Andrea must find a way to do what’s right while protecting her only sibling. As the clock ticks down on a deadly plot, Andrea and Jon race to confront a heartless killer who will stop at nothing to deliver a final, terrifying message.
