Review
"It's scary just how good Tess Gerritsen is..." - Harlan Coben "Gerritsen has enough in the locker to seriously worry Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben and even the great Denis Lehane. Brilliant." - Crime Time "Gerritsen is tops in her genre." - USA TODAY "Tess Gerritsen writes some of the smartest, most compelling thrillers around." - Bookreporter"
Product Description
When Victor Holland came flying out of the night, he ran straight into the path of Catherine Weaver's car. Having uncovered a terrifying secret which leads all the way to Washington, Victor is running for his life - and from the men who will go to any lengths to silence him.Victor's story sounds like the ravings of a mad-man, but the haunted look in his eyes - and the bullet hole in his shoulder - tell a different story.As each hour brings pursuers ever closer, Cathy has to wonder, is she giving her trust to a man in danger or trusting her life to a dangerous man?

Format:Paperback
An early attempt at fiction writing by Ms Gerritsen and it shows. This very short flacid book has been repackaged by the publishers to fool the public into believing it's a new work. The characters are lightweight, flawed and the plot improbable. The typeface has been enlarged to give the book some bulk. You can read it at arm's length - which is about the right distance to keep away from this offering.

Format:Paperback
I read one other book by Gerritsen before, which I liked, so looking for a read I picked up this one - what a mistake. I totally agree with the other 1-star rating reviewers (and can't but wonder about the 2 5 star reviews it got). The underlying story may be a good idea (if improbable), but the writing is incredibly bad. If you expect a decent book like those of Kathy reichs or the early Patricia Cornwell (which is what I was hoping for), stay away from this one. The lines in this book are incredibly cheap, and the simplistic love story between two of the main characters take precedence over the actual thriller. After this, I will not buy another Tess Gerritsen book again.

Format:Paperback
I usually love Tess Geritsen's books, which are filled with horror and suspense. The surgeon and the apprentice were mind blowingly great. This one was a great disappointment. If I had wanted a romance novel, albeit a Barbara Cartland esk one at that, I would have ordered one. Where was the suspense that usually characterise her books?
I would now think twice before buying another one of her books.

This is the first Tess Gerritsen novel I've read and I will give her another go (main reason being I have another on my bookshelf). Read more

Read others, NOT this one
I've read several of her novels and all were superbe - WISH I had read these reviews first. This is watery, soppy drivel. It's a romance novel with a thriller cover. Read more

Disappointing!
I found this book utterly disappointing and at many points during my read found myself cringing at the 'romance' bits. And these bits did dominate, rather. Read more
