Hard to believe
that Meg Gardiner went for so long without an American publisher, especially with the likes of Stephen King singing her praises.
Her Evan Delaney series was a terrific five novel series full of suspense and great writing, and with Evan's story pretty much told, Gardiner has now turned to a newer character (I say "newer" but this is already the fourth in the series), the forensic scientist Jo Beckett.
Jo gets tangled up in a kidnapping that has her beset on all sides by opposing parties of evil-doers as well as the weather that threatens the lives of the teenagers she is doing her utmost to save.
Taut writing, bags of tension and plenty of "He's behind you" moments.
