When a high-society call girl is murdered in her Georgetown home, investigators find two cameras hidden in the walls of her bedroom. One has its memory erased, presumably by the murderer. The second is connected to the Internet through an encrypted connection…and no-one knows who’s on the other end.
Special Agent Allison McNeil is asked by beleaguered FBI Director Clarence Mason to run an off-the-record investigation of the murder. The most direct path to apprehending the killer is to find the videos, but with rumors that the victim’s client list may have included Mason’s political enemies, Allison worries about the director’s motives. As she starts her investigation, she quickly discovers that she’s not the only one pursuing the videos. In fact, the most aggressive person racing against her might be the murderer himself.

REVIEW
Jeff Gunhus is the author of thriller and horror novels for adults and the middle grade/YA series, The Templar Chronicles. The first book, Jack Templar Monster Hunter, was written in an effort to get his reluctant reader eleven-year old son excited about reading. It worked and a new series was born. His books for adults have reached the Top 100 on Amazon and have been Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Finalists.
After his experience with his son, he is passionate about helping parents reach young reluctant readers and is active in child literacy issues. As a father of five, he leads an active lifestyle in Maryland with his wife Nicole by trying to constantly keep up with their kids. In rare moments of quiet, he can be found in the back of the City Dock Cafe in Annapolis working on his next novel.
This
was a exhilarating, suspenseful read that kept me on the edge of my seat every
step of the way. Well-paced, with a plethora of developed characters, this
book was a twisted web of lies, deceit and murder.
Not
at all predictable, Gunhus does a fantastic job of keeping the
reader entertained, distracted and so in the moment, that when he
delivered the final blow, I was shocked, but so delighted by his brilliance.
This
is the type of book I love reading because I feel like I'm a part of the
action, always looking over my shoulder and just one step away from discovering
the truth. It was interesting to see the characters interact with each other,
as personalities clashed, and morality was challenged. The multiple POV allowed
me a look into the minds of everyone involved so that I was able to better
understand them and their motivation for their actions. Of course, some were
inexcusable, but it just made this story real in its entirety.
It
was a pleasure reading this book and I would most definitely recommend it to
readers who love puzzles, because this story was one big jigsaw puzzle and as
the pieces slowly fell into place, the more thrilled I was. Superb!
