Very exciting thriller, I admired the woman character, had reservations about the male character.
Helpful Score: 2
Thrilling with a strong female protagonist, with just a bit gore thrown in, mixed with romance and intrigue. Another good Johansen read!

This was one of those books where it was hard to put down. It only took me a few nights to read it. The pace was fast and it was full of twists and turns. The end was surprising. Will nto spoil for any of you that have not read it yet. Overall a great book to read to kill a few hours or days with.

Romantic suspense - I like some of her later books better, but it was an easy book to listen to on tape.
Great suspense got to keep reading
The usual. Little people do the work and boy is it good work. Big people want it and will do anything to get it. Great suspense.
Some familiar elements appear in Johansen's (The Ugly Duckling) new thriller: a heroic scientist on the cusp of a billion-dollar medical breakthrough; a rakish sidekick; an intrepid, appealing heroine; and a murderous and corrupt corporation in league with a corrupt politician. But Johansen knows how to take the formula and run with it, and readers will be won over by her flesh-and-blood characters, crackling dialogue and lean, suspenseful plotting. Kate Denby, recently divorced and the mother of a nine-year-old boy, is trying as hard as she can to refuse a prestigious job that will uproot her from her stable life. But Noah Smith, the prize-winning scientist to whom Kate's research is essential, won't give up easily. Any chance of stability vanishes, however, when someone blows up Noah's lab, killing most of his employees, and tries to kill Kate. She and her son soon find themselves under the watchful eye of a psychopathic hit man whose madness is steeped in the killing techniques and spirit lore of Indian warriors. Kate has no choice but to join forces with Noah?in hiding. In addition to Noah, Kate has another love interest?Noah's friend and protector, Seth, a hard-edged mercenary who lives dangerously and savors the moment. A thread of the story involving Kate's father, a respected doctor felled by Alzheimer's, surfaces to give the deft but somewhat protracted finish a moving, unexpected touch.

I was really impressed, a good thriller
This was the first book from this author that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it...couldn't stop turning pages. Can't wait to read more from Ms. Johansen.
I've been on an self imposed Iris Johansen read-a-thon. This is the best book I have read in a long time. I couldn't put it down. Contains romance, betrayal, intrigue, action, suspense and several different personalities that keep the storyline moving. Just when I thought there was going to be a "happiliy ever after" there was another twist to the story. It's a long book with 430 pages.
Great story!

The first warning was triggered hundreds of miles away. The second warning exploded only yards from where she and her son stood. Now Kate Denby realizes the frightening truth: She is somebody\'s target.
