Don't Look for Me: A Carter Blake Thriller

by Mason Cross

Overview

A nail-biting new thriller—perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, Alex Cross, and Jason Bourne—about the desperate hunt for a woman who has a secret to kill for . . .

Six years ago, the woman Carter Blake loved disappeared and told him not to ever look for her. For six long years, he kept that promise. She was a woman on the run—a woman with a secret many would kill for. It was better that she stay hidden.

But now someone else is looking for her. Trenton Gage is a hitman with a talent for finding people—dead or alive. And his next job is to track down the woman Carter Blake once loved, a woman on the run. With both men hunting the same person, the question is: Who will find her first? 

A riveting new thriller from Mason Cross, ideal for readers of David Baldacci, Linwood Barclay, and Mark Billingham.

Editorial Reviews

10/23/2017
British author Cross’s uneven fourth thriller featuring former black ops manhunter Carter Blake (after 2016’s The Time to Kill) finds him leading a carefree existence on Louisiana’s Grand Isle. In Summerlin, Nev., novelist Sarah Blackwell reports a late-night break-in at the house of her neighbors, Dominic and Rebecca Smith. Sarah hasn’t seen the couple in weeks, and when the police do nothing, she goes next door, where she retrieves a notebook containing Blake’s email address below a note saying “break glass in case of emergency.” Sarah emails Blake, and soon the two team up to track down Rebecca, whom he knew as Carol Langford, his former lover who disappeared six years earlier. Meanwhile, a contract killer closes in on Dominic, who has gone his own way. Blake eventually uncovers connections between the couple and a jewel heist in which millions of dollars in diamonds were stolen. He and the hit man inevitably collide with bloody consequences. Cross keeps the tension high, but the characters are largely two-dimensional and emotionally unengaging, and the real thrills are few and far between. Agent: Luigi Bonomi, LBA (U.K.). (Jan.)

Publishers Weekly

"Another swift-moving thriller in the Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher express lane. And if you like competent reads that don't slow down for a minute, it's your kind of book too."

Criminal Element [Praise for the Carter Blake series]

"The writing is taut, and the pace is unrelenting. With few pauses for reflection and plenty of heart-pounding, visceral action, this one immediately calls to mind Lee Child."

Booklist

"A fast-paced action-packed thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Cross is remarkable in creating this unique story with many twists and turns with some unexpected reveals and truths along the way."

Fresh Fiction

"Pulse-pounding. Mason Cross deftly combines an adrenaline rush plot with one of the best new series characters since Jack Reacher. Prepare to read all night."

Lisa Gardner [Praise for the Carter Blake series]

"Terrific stuff."

Ian Rankin (praise for the Carter Blake series)

"If you like page-whirring thrillers centered on an enigmatic, action-oriented central character, then you definitely want to give the Carter Blake books a try. Cross delivers a ripsnorter of a thriller. Plenty of suspense, violent action, tension, and twists blend into a propulsive narrative. A one-sitting read that keeps the revs high, while delivering some nice shading in terms of character and setting, Don’t Look for Me will leave readers wanting more Carter Blake."
