Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:The New York Times bestselling master of suspense is back with a riveting thriller, as reward seeker Colter Shaw plunges into the woods and races the clock in a case where nothing is quite what it seems.
THERE ARE TWO FUNDAMENTAL RULES OF SURVIVAL.
#1: NEVER BE WITHOUT A MEANS OF ESCAPE.
    Allison Parker is on the run with her teenage daughter, Hannah, and Colter Shaw has been hired by her eccentric boss, entrepreneur Marty Harmon, to find and protect her. Though heā??s an expert at tracking missing personsā??even those who donā??t wish to be foundā??Shaw has met his match in Allison, who brings all her skills as a brilliant engineer designing revolutionary technology to the game of evading detection.
 
#2: NEVER BE WITHOUT ACCESS TO A WEAPON.
    The reason for Allisonā??s panicked flight is soon apparent. Sheā??s being stalked by her ex-husband, Jon Merritt. Newly released from prison and fueled by blinding rage, Jon is a man whose former profession as a police detective makes him uniquely suited for the hunt. And heā??s not alone. Two hitmen are also hot on her heelsā??an eerie pair of thugs who take delight not only in murder but in the sport of devising clever ways to make bodies disappear forever. Even if Shaw manages to catch up with Allison and her daughter, his troubles will just be beginning.

SHAW IS ABOUT TO DISCOVER RULE #3:
NEVER BELIEVE ANYTHING.
    As Shaw ventures further into the wilderness, the truth becomes as hard to decipher as the forestā??s unmarked trailsā?¦a

I haven't read the first three Colter Shaw novels, but found him an engaging hero. At first he is hired by a businessman, Marty Harmon, to find out who has stolen a prototype developed for his company. Then Colter is asked to find and protect the woman who developed the prototype, Allison, and her daughter Hannah, who have gone into hiding after Allison's husband Jon is unexpectedly released from prison early.

There was quite a lot of clever misdirection and the plot moved quickly, although I lost interest in the gun battle at the end.

SPOILERS

I found some of Allison's actions hard to understand - if she was determined enough to break her own cheekbone to get her husband put in prison, surely she was determined enough just to leave him...? Did the author decide to give Jon cancer so that we would feel less bad that he died? Why was it OK for Allison to execute the gunman at the end? Were we supposed to feel sympathy for Jon's actions at Beacon Hill? They seemed out of character and very unlikely - would anyone, let alone a police officer, throw a child in the line of fire to save themself? I hope I wouldn't. Were we supposed to feel he had redeemed himself? ( )

Fourth in series is action packed and full of clever twists and turns.

Colter Shaw, the son of survivalists, works as a reward seeker and goes where the money leads. This time, heā€™s hired to find Allison Parker, a brilliant nuclear engineer, and her daughter, Hannah. They are on the run from her abusive ex-husband, John Merritt, whoā€™s just been released early from prison. Shaw runs into a situation almost immediately ā€” it seems that there are two hitman who are also tracking Allison.

This was well written and kept me entertained. I like the main character, Colter Shaw, who is enigmatic and competent while also often proving to be the romantic interest of at least one woman or two. The details about Colterā€™s childhood training up in the mountain wilderness with his family are also interesting and educational. I like the series and definitely will continue.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for this ebook ARC to read, review, and recommend. ( )
