Description de l’éditeur
From a New York Times bestselling author, a young mother and a murder suspect must solve a corruption case while on the run from a dangerous manhunt.
Honor Gillette discovers Lee Coburn in her yard–the man accused of murdering seven people the night before. Dangerous, desperate, and armed, he promises Honor that she and her young daughter won't be hurt as long as she does everything he asks. Coburn claims that her beloved late husband possessed something extremely valuable: a treasure that places Honor and her daughter in grave danger. He's there to retrieve it at any cost.
From the FBI offices of Washington, D.C. to a rundown shrimp boat in coastal Louisiana, Coburn and Honor run from the very people sworn to protect them, unraveling a web of corruption that threatens to destroy them...and the fabric of society.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of this pulse-pounding thriller from bestseller Brown (Tough Customer), Honor Gillette is baking cupcakes in the kitchen of her Tambour, La., home when her four-year-old daughter, Emily, tells her a bloodied man is outside in the yard. Lee Coburn is on the run, the object of a manhunt for the cold-blooded murder of seven people, including one of Tambour's most prominent citizens. Promising not to harm Emily, Lee takes Honor hostage, but only because she may have the key to solving an even bigger puzzle: the identity of the Bookkeeper, a criminal mastermind with power over local law enforcement and government. Honor's policeman husband, Eddie, who died in an accident two years earlier, may have had information about the mysterious and malicious Bookkeeper. When it becomes apparent that the mass murders and Eddie's death might be connected, trying to prove the link could cost Lee and Honor their lives. A relentless pace and clever plot twists keep the pages turning.

Best book ever. Never would have guessed who the Bookkeeper was. Had a hard time putting this book don.
High expectations
I had high expectations for this book. Especially after reading Mean Streak and reading all the glowing reviews for Lethal. Not sure what it was but this wasn't a great read. It was horrible either... It was more ' meh'. 3 stars barely.
