As the largest man-hunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down on a terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill - or be killed."

Review:	The only reason I gave this story two stars instead of one is that the basic story line is actually interesting. Unfortunately, the details along the way aren't very compelling and the technical aspects of the story are downright wrong at times. Actual police procedure goes right out the window. The story gives way too much detail in one scene...and not enough in the next. So although, as I said, the basic story line has some merit, the book as a whole isn't all that great.
