SynopsisIn Blind Run , Patricia Lewin has written a breathless novel of unrelenting suspense and nerve-cracking tension that is also a gripping story of lost love, lost innocence, and a last chance at revenge. Ethan Decker is a specialized "Hunter" for the most secretive agency of the U.S. government, working deep undercover to track down and capture ruthless international mercenaries and fugitives. But when a daring mission takes a lethal turn, a renegade assassin kills Decker's young son in retribution. Forced to leave his devastated, unsuspecting wife, Sydney, to save her from the madman's threats, Decker exiles himself to the New Mexican desert to live in a jail of his own guilt and grief. The day starts like any other in the desert: scorching, cloudless. But then, like a mirage, a car appears on the horizon. Inside is Anna Kelsey, a former member of Decker's covert team, a woman Decker presumed dead in the hell following that ill-fated mission three years ago. But she survived-and now she shepherds two children, entrusting them to Decker's protection. Before he can protest, Anna is screeching away in a cloud of dust. Now Decker is reeling from the sudden turn of events-and the shocking sight of Anna's body not far down the road from where she left his trailer and the kids. The Spanish coin under her tongue is a mark Decker hoped never to see again . . . the signature of the assassin Ramirez. Suddenly the race is on: to reach his ex-wife before Ramirez finds her, and to unlock the mystery behind these two children and why Anna died to give them refuge. But for Decker, Sydney's trust is not his to have any longer, and the children are pawns in a dark conspiracy so vast and so evil that even this former spy could not imagine the peril and terror that lies directly in his path. As Decker fights to protect the innocent and struggles to restore a shattered relationship that seems beyond repair, Patricia Lewin takes us on a thrilling ride full of whip-snap action, deadly turns, and almost unbearable suspense.
'Blind Run' starts with a bang and for me it never let up. I know I would have read it straight through if I hadn't had other commitments. Like my job! I found the story telling enthralling. Each character had enough depth to make me care, the 'good' guys or not, the 'bad'' guys.
I fell for the H, a strong silent type, and empathize with the H, creative, beautiful and dedicated. One of the best books I have read in a long time.
