Publisher Description
Camaro Espinoza is 'the deadliest female protagonist since Jon Land's Caitlin Strong and Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander' (Booklist).
Former combat medic Camaro Espinoza is trying to put her past behind her. She's done bad things - but always for good reasons.
Then her sister Annabel calls. She's trapped in an abusive relationship with petty criminal Jake Collier and needs Camaro's help.
Camaro has always protected Annabel, but the situation is more dangerous than she realises. Jake's own sibling, Lukas, is an ex-Marine, and together they are planning a much bigger crime.
As the federal marshals pick up Lukas's trail, and a bounty hunter closes in, Camaro knows that standing her ground is the last thing she should do. But if there's one thing she can't do, it's walk away.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Hawken's competent if predicable sequel to 2015's The Night Charter, former combat medic, martial arts expert, and all-around badass Camaro Espinoza is maintaining a quiet under-the-radar existence in Miami, where she runs a small charter fishing boat. Then she receives a coded distress message from her sister, Annabel, who has escaped a complicated past and now lives under an assumed name in Carmel, Calif. Annabel's boyfriend, Jacob Collier, has become increasingly violent and abusive, and she has begun to fear for her life. Camaro races across country to her sister's aid. In Carmel, she learns that Lukas Collier, Jake's brother, has recently jumped bail and is wanted for murder. An ex-Marine combat vet, Lukas is also a stone psychopath and soon sets his sights on Annabel and Camaro. Hawken is a talented writer and knows how to construct a fine page-turner, but this outing doesn't quite match the depth and soul of his borderland novels (Missing, etc.).
