Description from the publisher:

Single mom Vivi Vincent is thrust into her worst nightmare when she's trapped inside a mall during a terror attack along with her eight-year-old son.  With the help of Jed Brennan, an FBI special agent on enforced leave, Vivi and her son survive the assault.  But the danger is far from over.



Vivi's son may have witnessed critical details of the terrorists' future plans and is targeted for death, but he's mute, and he's traumatized.  Still someone launches a strike against the FBI's safe house, and Jed fears the bad guys have an inside man.  No longer knowing who to trust, he hides mother and son in a log cabin deep in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods.  There Jed and Vivi try to figure out how to unlock the information inside her son's head.  What they don't bargain for is the red-hot attraction that flares between them, or the extent of the sinister plot that threatens to rip apart not only any chance of happiness they might have together, but also the very fabric of American society.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



COLD PURSUIT is the second book in the Cold Justice series.  Each book will stand on its own, with the exception of A Cold Dark Promise, which is a follow up novella to A Cold Dark Place.  There is some mention of Mallory and Alex from A Cold Dark Place, but you do not need to have read their story to enjoy this one.



Oh. Em. Gee.  Every mother’s nightmare is capsulized in the first two chapters! (Though that is far from the end of the terror and suspense).  My own (ex) daughter-in-law was present during a mall shooting and could share with you the terror of a gun in a crowd.



The tension and suspense start on page one and from there is fast-paced action and non-stop drama – sexual tension, global tension, family tension, … grip the wheel and hold on for a hard ride!



Knowing how Vivi felt was natural, but also including the villains’ voices allowed empathy and sympathy for another culture to be brought through as well.



My advice:  do not miss this book or this series…. Especially this book.



Narration:  Eric G. Dove is very warm and easy to listen to as he narrates the story.  He sounded so much like another narrator that I have enjoyed in the past that I had to go make sure it wasn’t the same name.  Of that narrator, I wrote that his voice was a sinful dark chocolate dessert.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
