Descripción editorial
A stalker who wants to finish what he started. A US Marshal who's vowed to protect his charge. And one woman who is determined to put the past in the past.
Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it's hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people's lives, but because her stalker was never found, she's never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up.
US Marshal Vincent Corelli's job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs--whether it's his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina's past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn't live long enough to do it.
Countdown is the breathless conclusion to USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason's thrilling Extreme Measures series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the pulse-pounding finale to Eason's Extreme Measures series (after Critical Threat), paramedic Raina Price must sacrifice her own safety to protect her abusive ex-boyfriend's son. Raina has long been running from her nightmare of an ex, Kevin Anderson, who left her hospitalized with broken bones and a ruptured spleen when she broke up with him years ago. While watching TV, she sees an interview with a young snowboarding star named Michael Harrison and his adoptive mother. Michael bears an uncanny resemblance to Kevin, and Raina becomes convinced that the boy is her ex's son. Worried Kevin will seek him out, Raina resolves to find and warn Michael's family, enlisting the help of U.S. marshal Vince Covelli to do so. Meanwhile, in California, Keith Baldridge—the man Raina knows as Kevin Anderson—sees the same interview and becomes set on finding the boy. As Raina works to locate Michael, danger to her own life encroaches and she must place her safety in God's hands—something she's always struggled to do. Eason dives straight into the action, teasing out a tense cat-and-mouse game between Kevin and Raina alongside Raina's budding relationship with Vince. This high-stakes series conclusion will keep readers hooked through the last page.
