Cut and Run

In this thriller from the New York Time–bestselling author and "the suspense writer to watch," a Texas judge must save his mother from ruthless killers (Harlen Coben, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Fool Me Once).

She's a liar.She's a thief.She's a killer.

She's his mother. And he'll take on the world to save her.

With his father near death, Judge Whit Mosley launches a search for his mother, who abandoned the family thirty years ago and vanished into the criminal underworld. Hoping to heal the wounds of the past, Whit finds Eve—framed for murder and for stealing five million dollars from a Houston crime cartel desperate to regain their lost power. He has one impossible chance to save his mother: take her on the run, outsmart a gang of sophisticated killers, and find the missing millions. Caught in a nightmare of double crosses and vicious schemers, Whit turns his back on law and order for the one person he most wants to trust but knows the least—a dangerous woman who may be plotting the cruelest deception of all.

"Relentless. . . .Each page offers up the kind of brutal action and blunt dialogue that should gratify Abbott's fans." —Publishers Weekly
