Title: Dead Drop |
The Network is the ultimate covert agency, with resources, talents, and no limits on its ability to wreak justice against crime and criminals. Those who are recruited are the cream of their generation; but they must surrender any possibility for love, romance, family, or a routine life should they choose to accept their mission. Minneapolis FBI Agent Parris L'Engle lost her fiance to The Network twenty-five years ago; she continues to search, hoping that he did indeed accept the recruitment offered him, and that the auto accident that supposedly resulted in his death was simply a set-up.
Now Parris' son Danny, a microbiologist researcher and professor, is targeted by the very same recruiter that had approached Daniel two and a half decades earlier. She had never been able to explain away the charred fragments of Daniel's vehicle found thirty miles from the city, nor his failure to contact her after the mysterious untraceable phone call he had received the afternoon before his "death." The police and her family and Daniel's accepted his death, but Perry's intuition tells her differently. Now she is convinced Danny may be about to embark on a dangerous situation of his own, and she is determined to move heaven and earth, if necessary, to stop this "recruiter" from ruining Danny's life too.
Author Karen Wiesner continues to demonstrate the enviable capacity to enrapture her readers within the first page or two of any story. Dead Drop is no exception to this rule, for readers will find it a not-to-be-put-aside novel. As Book 4 in her outstanding series, Incognito, about The Network, Dead Drop works well as a series installment, but also as a stand-alone story. Readers, race to your nearest outlet and pick up Dead Drop, then set aside a block of time sufficient to read it start to finish, because you will not be willing to put this book down until the end!
