Winter Massey is a U.S. Marshall and a single father who
can't get over his wife's death. Keeping his life running
smoothly is a constant challenge, particularly when
presented with a hired killer, corpses and a special
assignment (against his wishes) to WITSEC, Witness
Security. But he's known as a hot-shot and the powers that
be wanted the best security on this witness, and Massey
doesn't let them down. What he doesn't expect is that the
witness's wife, Sean Devlin, will start to thaw his frozen
heart.
Sean Devlin had no idea her husband was a hired killer.
Married only a short time, she is propelled into the midst
of chaos and drama, and when someone tries to kill her, she
finds herself clinging to a competent and kind U.S.
Marshall. The two begin the run of their lives together,
facing "ghosts" (former Special Forces men who are listed
as killed -- but who somehow show up with real guns trying
to kill them) and trying to keep their sanity.
Miller delivers. In a sharp, believable style, he weaves
varied elements together and creates a tapestry that keeps
the reader turning pages, waiting impatiently for the next
jarring action scene. He's particularly gifted with
characterization, which is sometimes lacking in action
books. Massey and Devlin, as well as supporting characters,
are compelling and well-written. Dell editors made a great
decision, too -- the sequel to this book is being released
in July so you won't have long to wait to meet Massey in
his second adventure!
A U.S. MARSHAL DRIVEN BY GRIEF AND RAGE...
A MAFIA DON WHO TRAFFICS IN HUMAN LIVES…
A KILLER WITH THE MOST CHILLING PEDIGREE OF ALL...
The Justice Department is hunting Sam Manelli, the
godfather of one of America's biggest crime families. Now
an execution gone bad hands the government the ammunition
they need. But they can't do it without Dylan Devlin, the
sociopathic hit man whose testimony will put Manelli away
for good. Haunted by the crash that killed his wife and
blinded his son, U.S. Marshal Winter Massey knows that
safety is only an illusion. Now a man who couldn't protect
his own family has to keep a killer and his wife alive—at
any cost.
But when the government's witness protection program
explodes in a horrifying hail of bullets and blood, Massey
knows he's up against a killer who can go anywhere, be
anyone, and strike at any time. For Massey is about to be
blindsided by an adversary more lethal than the mob, more
dangerous than any psychopath—and he won't see his killer
coming…until it's too late.
