Overview


What would you do if someone brutally murdered your only child, served only months in jail because of a technicality, and continually taunted, even threatened, you from behind bars? Could you hide your growing rage from family and friends? Could you gun the killer down as he left prison? Could you change your ID and leave behind your entire life - family, friends, jobs, house -and just disappear? Could Tim and Martha Foster do this?

Forensic evidence and criminal behavior expert Dub Walker, along with best friend and homicide investigator T-Tommy Tortelli and ex-wife and TV reporter Claire McBride, employ all their skills to track down the Fosters.

But the murder of Walter Whitiker is not as simple as it seems. Tim and Martha are not the only ones who want Walt dead. Someone has twisted the evidence to keep the hot light of suspicion on the Fosters.

Will the real killer please step forward? Sorry, Dub, you're going to have to work hard to solve this one.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
At the start of forensics expert Lyle’s middling third mystery featuring Huntsville, Ala., criminal consultant Dub Walker (after 2011’s Hot Lights, Cold Steel), Tim and Martha Foster hatch a plot to assume new identities and disappear after killing Walter Whitiker, who abducted and murdered their seven-year-old son, Steven, and is now due for early release after serving time only for perjury and obstruction of justice. As Whitiker walks out of Stone Gate Prison, he’s hit by two rifle shots, one of them fatal. Huntsville homicide cop T-Tommy Tortelli takes charge of the investigation, for which his friend Dub becomes an official consultant. In addition to sifting through trace evidence left behind at the shooting site, they need to locate the Fosters. J.D. Whitiker, Walter’s brother, is also looking for the Fosters for more sinister reasons. Lyle’s sure handling of forensic issues helps make up for thin characters and too many unlikely occurrences. Agent: Kimberley Cameron, Kimberley Cameron and Associates. (Aug.)
Library Journal
Could grief push ordinary parents to commit murder? In Huntsville, AL, eight-year-old Steven Foster was abducted and, months later, found dead in the woods near his home. Murder charges were brought against pedophile Walter Whitiker, but dismissed evidence resulted in a greatly reduced sentence. After fewer than two years, Whitiker was released on good behavior but then killed by an unknown shooter as he left prison. Evidence seemed to implicate Tim and Martha Foster, Steven's parents, who disappeared without a trace the day Whitiker was killed. Forensics and criminal behavior consultant Dub Walker and his pal, homicide investigator T-Tommy Tortelli, work together to solve the case. In a tense, action-packed five-day manhunt across states, Dub and T-Tommy risk their lives to track down the answers. VERDICT This third series entry (after Stress Fracture; Hot Lights, Cold Steel) delivers a powerful punch of action and intrigue. Mystery and thriller readers will welcome Lyle's likable characters and surprise-filled plot.—Mary Todd Chesnut, Northern Kentucky Univ.Lib., Highland Heights

    An outstanding novel shedding insight into the anguish of losing

    An outstanding novel shedding insight into the anguish of losing a child to murder. D.P. Lyle knows how to get inside the minds of his characters, their motivations, and their actions. His vast knowledge of forensics is amazing!
