Description

From #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline comes a pulse-pounding new novel.

Your family has been attacked, never again to be the same.
Now you have to choose between law…and justice.

     Jason Bennett is a suburban dad who owns a court-reporting business, but one night, his life takes a horrific turn. He is driving his family home after his daughter’s field hockey game when a pickup truck begins tailgating them, on a dark stretch of road. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever.
 
Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The agents tell them that the carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization—and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs.
 
The agents advise the Bennetts to enter the witness protection program right away, and they have no choice but to agree. But WITSEC was designed to protect criminal informants, not law-abiding families. Taken from all they know, trapped in an unfamiliar life, the Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.
 
Sometimes justice is a one-man show.

    First few chapters were compelling then boom, ugh. Contrived and sluggish. Couldn’t finish.

    Full of unexpected twists and turns, almost to the point I didn’t know what was going on, who were the good guys and who were the bad guys but the author has such a easy style of writing any questions where answered. The characters were complex. Interestingly told in first person from the males POV. His growth in the story was believable and heartfelt. Always love Lisa’s books
  • Excellent “right off the shelf” choice for me!

    Held my attention and was a twisty ride! True to Lisa’s form, had the right mix of grit, suspense, twists, turns, mayhem and closure. About to fill my library with more Scottoline reads.
  • Kept me reading way too late

    A great mystery. Likeable and dispiseable characters. Incredibly good. Definitely read.
  • Slow…

    I found this book to be very slow going. You wouldn’t think that possible with something that starts with action, but slow it is. The story focuses on Jason Bennett the husband/father and although people react differently in stressful situations this guy was a bit much. And some of the “twists” are a bit much too.
  • Started out great … but lost steam in the middle

    Definitely not my favorite Lisa Scottoline book. The beginning was very good but then it became pedantic and boring. I barely finished it.
  • Too many words

    Way to long of a story, drug out. Had to skip along to get it finished. Not impressed. I did love the fact they were a family that stuck together.
  • a bit of a dud

    I usually love Lisa Scottline books, but this was a drag for me. Too drawn out and unrealistic - honestly, just kind of boring 😬 Looking forward to the next one!
