Investigator Kendra Michaels—formerly blind and now with uniquely insightful observational skills in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes—returns in this action-packed novel from the #1 New York Times and Edgar Award-winning writing duo Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen.
When Kendra Michaels receives a cryptic message from her sometimes-paramour Adam Lynch, she concludes that he must be in extreme danger—the kind where he can’t trust his FBI and Justice department colleagues to rescue him. Lynch has saved Kendra’s life during past investigations so she’s immediately willing to put everything on the line for him.
With her heightened senses, honed in the dark before she regained her eyesight in a cutting-edge surgical procedure, Kendra knows she can do what the federal agents cannot. So along with private investigator Jessie Mercado, Kendra is soon following the first intriguing clue to London.
What they find there will lead to a chase with deadly stakes because Lynch is willing to risk it all to protect something he believes is bigger than himself. Something that could change life for everyone on the planet…if only they live long enough to share the truth.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The mother and son team of Iris and Roy Johansen paint by numbers in their 12th thriller featuring FBI consultant Kendra Michaels (after Flashback). At the outset, Kendra, who was born blind but "gained her vision via a revolutionary surgical procedure," is leading a sedate life as a music therapist in Southern California. Her placid routine is disrupted when her friend Olivia receives a cryptic email from Justice Department intelligence operative Adam Lynch, Kendra's occasional love interest: "Hope all is well at the farm. Be sure to check out the livestock inoculations." Olivia tells Kendra about the email, who then attempts to reach Adam without success. When Kendra heads to Adam's house, she finds a small package containing an old postcard and the name of a British bookstore. Kendra heads to the bookstore, where she encounters the aftermath of a grisly murder. Meanwhile, supplementary chapters detail how Adam's life is threatened by forces hoping to unleash a major technological weapon on the world. Though fast-paced, Kendra's pursuit of Adam and the looming threat of mass destruction lacks surprises. This is strictly for series completists.
