After a harrowing attempt on a judge's life at the courthouse, Deputy US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are tasked with finding a missing woman and an endangered child in connection to the murder of the judge's wife. What seems like a fairly straightforward case becomes hopelessly tangled when the marshals discover that the woman they are searching for is not who they think she is.

Madison and Jonas are forced into a race to find the woman and the child before the men who want her dead discover her location. And in a final showdown that could cost her everything, Madison will come face-to-face with the person who murdered her husband.

USA Today bestselling author Lisa Harris concludes her thrilling US Marshals series with this breathless tale of secrets kept, lies exposed, and ultimately, justice prevailing.

Jonas has been away for a month on intensive training. On his first day back he and Madison both end up on courthouse security. A notorious drug dealer is appearing in court and there have been threats against judges as well as rumors of an attempted rescue of the dealer. The violence at the courthouse goes wrong and most of the attackers are caught but the attackers fail in taking the judge prisoner while they do succeed in freeing the prisoner. When the judge’s wife is found dead in their home things become much more complicated as it appears his mistress, Becca, (the mother of his child) has killed his wife and disappeared with his son. But as they delve closer into the case it appears Becca may be innocent and the woman who has disappeared with the child is not who she appears to be. Complicating matters, Madison finally remembers who shot her four months ago. Now the hunt for her husband’s killer is heating up again along with the search for the missing baby and the killer of the judge’s wife which may or may not be connected to the judge’s attempted abduction.

Again there are a few minor quibbles, a woman is held captive in an isolated cabin with no cell phone access, this is confirmed when she can’t get a signal on her burner phone, but when the cops and Marshals show up all are using their cell phones with no problems.  Dad goes from the beginnings of Alzheimers with Madison’s sister assuring her there were medications to slow the progress to needing residential care in four months.

Overall this is a good, action-packed trilogy with lots of action and, in this book, interesting plots within plots and a couple of unexpected solutions. Recommended ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
