Agent Alex Travis returns to Cache Valley in search of an escaped prisoner, who bears a striking resemblance to one of the gang members Jack killed in the shootout in Green Canyon four years earlier. His instincts are leading him in the right direction, but he continues to be one step behind the man seeking revenge on Jack & Kate, and their young daughter, Emma. By not telling the whole truth of the missing bank money at the time of the recovery, Agent Travis has put them all in jeopardy. He must now decide if he can solve this case on this own, in time to save his friends, or if he risks asking for help from the Bureau and ruining his career in the process, a possibility that could land him in jail as well. In a race to see who finds who first, the search shifts to nearby Logan Canyon, where Agent Travis will be tested by his own conscience as much as by the man he’s hunting. 

My Review: 5 Stars

You don't need to necessarily read Book 1 to capture the full flavor of this book. I don't retain books well and I read the first one awhile ago, and flashes came back to me, but this story holds up all on it's own in a very suspenseful way. I was grasped and held captive from start to finish and it was especially fun for me because this is where I grew up. I loved picturing this places how they must have been 60+ years ago.

The lives of an FBI agent, an escaped convict, and a young, innocent couple all collide in a truly terrifying tale of danger and I couldn't read this one fast enough. I was stunned by the ingenuity these characters had while facing a sudden shock. How could they function in the face of this kind of peril?! I would be frozen with fear, but no. These are clever and resourceful characters.

This story is fast paced and highly entertaining and I can't wait to finish off the series.

Content: mild-moderate moments of peril/danger/violence; mild language
