Synopsis
After the brutal murders of her parents, mystery novelist Hannah Keller quit the Miami P.D. to devote more time to writing, and to her eleven-year-old son Randall—still haunted by the discovery of his grandparents' bodies five years ago. But just when life seems to be calming down for Hannah, she finds a copy of one of her books, with cryptic notes scribbled in its margins. Hannah, immediately sensing the connection to her parents' deaths, is soon plunged into a harrowing search for answers—one that will draw her and her son closer to danger...to a reclusive millionaire who may hold all the answers...to two villains—one out for revenge and the other for blood...and to a real-life mystery more shocking than anything she could have penned.

This is a thoroughly satisfying thriller, and even though I read it smack on the heels of two others, it stood out. Even the big action scenes are well-considered, pushed to the max. It isn't that they leave the realm of reality. No. Instead, Hall has taken what could be old hat and given it just enough of a twist to make it new.
