From bestselling author Mike Omer comes the first in a new series full of the psychological twists and police procedural turns that his fans have come to know and love.

Lieutenant Abby Mullen is no stranger to crisis. As the hostage negotiation instructor for the NYPD, she deals with worst-case scenarios every day. Nothing fazes her anymore.

That all changes when she gets a call from Eden Fletcher, a fellow survivor of the infamous Wilcox cult. The two haven’t spoken since the night of a tragic, fiery massacre, when their paths diverged. But now Eden needs Abby’s help: someone has kidnapped her son and is demanding a $5 million ransom. As Abby throws herself into the case, she can’t help but wonder why the kidnapper has targeted Eden. But Eden refuses to talk. She’s silent about the relics of their shared past hanging on her walls. About the kidnapper’s possible motives. About what’s happened in the years since she and Abby parted ways.

As the truth closes in, Abby realizes that her past may not be as far behind as she thought…and it’s come home to collect.

Absolutely brilliantly thought out and well worth reading! As the reader it's like being at a movie filled with constant peaks & valleys of intense dramatic events only to learn new facts on the case that make your head spin and question everything you thought you understood up until that moment and who was involved in the crime. I mean this writer is so clever and brilliant in delivery that make sure you FINISH EVEN THE LAST PARAGRAPH! It changes your whole view & perspective on everything & starts you questioning all over again! Excellent cliff hanger!!

This is one of the best books I have read and heard. it's complex but sensical, layered but easy to follow, serious but funny, insightful and revealing.

You have to pay attention with Mike Omer's books. There are many characters and actions going on. But it's well worth it. Omer is an excellent author. I never miss one. This one is the first of the Abby Mullen books. She's a Lieutenant with the NYPD, a negotiator, and she knows her stuff. There's a cliffhanger at the end, setting us up for the next Abby Mullen book. Hope it's soon!

Excellent book, as usual!

Good enough that I would like to listen to the next book right away. Slightly flawed but likable and relatable characters. A twisted story. A good ending but glad there is another.

I like the plot of this book. It gave me pause about social media. You never know who's following you nor what that person may infer from a post. Thank you for the caution.

After I finished this book I quickly looked up to see if there is a sequel. There is and I quickly used one credit to preorder it. This book left me hanging. Perfect ending!!!
It also made it difficult to move on to another mystery/thriller because my mind was still swirling from this one.
This is a rare book that does this. Well done!

Outstanding! Stuck with me after I finished

This book was a good listen. I found myself mildly annoyed when I was interrupted. This book leaves a cliffhanger. Look for book 2.

Great
