Everything in Kate Raab’s life seems perfect. She has an amazing
family, an invigorating job straight out of college, and a
boyfriend she adores. Then a phone call changes everything. Her
father, a successful businessman, a man she has always trusted and
admired, is in trouble with the law. He’s innocent, he insists to
his family, but the only way out, is this: his testimony against
his accomplices and the immediate placement of his family deep
inside the Witness Protection Program. He accepts, and everyone
prepares to go into hiding—until one of them suddenly gets cold
feet. In a flash, Kate’s perfect life is gone.
Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened. Kate’s father
suddenly disappears—into what the WITSEC agency calls the Blue
Zone—and someone very important to him is found brutally murdered.
As Kate digs into her father’s life, the shocking truth she finds
sets in motion a decades-old vendetta. With her family under watch,
with the FBI untrustworthy, and her father’s menacing "friends"
circling her with increasing intensity, Kate alone must set off on
the life and death jouey to find her father, and uncover the
secrets someone will kill to keep buried.
With the breakneck pacing of James Patterson, the storytelling
twists of Harlan Coben and the emotional resonance of Tami Hoag.
Andrew Gross stakes out his own terrain as a new mode master of
suspense.

In Kate, Gross has created an intelligent, youthful and tenacious hero. His multilayered characters are rich with complexity and moral challenges. Even incidental characters are fully realized and believable. But Gross' greatest gift to readers is his ability to create tension, anticipation and suspense.
