A threat inside the government. A whistleblower’s life on the line. It’s up to Jon Reznick to bring justice.
When hacker Trevelle Williams discovers documents that threaten national security and put his life in jeopardy, there’s only one person he can turn to—Jon Reznick. Williams has learned that Rosalind Dyer, a key congressional witness, is about to be killed in order to stop her testimony. She has stumbled into the middle of a cover-up that goes deep into the United States government. Dyer knows her days are numbered, but that won’t stop her from doing what she has to do.
Dyer stared blankly at the TV as her thoughts turned to her own family. She picked up the remote control and turned down the volume. Her husband had wanted to sit by her side that day. But she didn’t want him embroiled in her fight. She wanted him to look after their family, to remind her of what she has to go home to.
Trevelle Williams has helped Jon out of many a scrape in the past. Now, Jon is the only person he can turn to for help saving Rosalind’s life, as well as his own, and protecting national security in the process.
With enemies on all sides, including within the United States government, can Jon and Trevelle get to Rosalind in time? They’re her only hope to escape her pursuers and bring these secrets to light.
J. B. Turner is a former journalist and the author of the Jon Reznick series of action thrillers (Hard Road, Hard Kill, Hard Wired, Hard Way, Hard Fall, Hard Hit, and Hard Shot), the American Ghost series of black-ops thrillers (Rogue, Reckoning, and Requiem), and the Deborah Jones political thrillers (Miami Requiem and Dark Waters). He has a keen interest in geopolitics. He lives in Scotland with his wife and two children.
Jon Reznick is a great character; he is compassionate but will push all boundaries to get what he wants to protect those around him, and this was no different. Jon is the main character assisted by Trevelle Williams, a very talented hacker, tasked with protecting Rosalind Dyer. Rosalind is a key congressional witness, about to testify against the American government but someone is trying to stop her. Along the way, there are 7 men killed who have been associated with the case and there is are people trying to ‘eliminate’ her along the way, but she is very determined to complete her testimony. As usual, Jon will stop at nothing to bring them down and to keep Rosalind safe.
There are some dark political connections to those around the pentagon who want Rosalind gone, she knows too much and has evidence for it all. The FBI tries to help, and we see Jon’s long-standing friend, Meyerstein, involved but despite repeated requests, Jon and co will not hand themselves in until after Rosalind’s deposition.
The new characters are quickly and well developed, this is the usual action-packed read that you come to expect from Turner. However, this was a little slower-paced than his last one for me and took me a while longer to read it but I am more sleepy this weekend so maybe that’s why!
Easily read as a standalone though book 8 in the Jon Reznick series.
