The Traitor's Pawn

by Lisa Harris

Overview

When FBI agent Jack Shannon arrives in Corpus Christi, Texas, he is focused on one thing: find the man who has been selling encrypted government secrets to the Chinese through online birding chat rooms. But when a senator is shot during a hunting trip and the woman he was with is abducted, Jack agrees to join the search—especially when he discovers that the kidnapping victim is Aubrey Grayson, a woman he was once in love with.

As the search continues, it becomes clear the senator may not have been the intended victim—and Aubrey may be connected to the other case Jack is supposed to be working on. Can Jack untangle the knots before it's too late? And when he learns the truth, will it be too painful to get past?

Join the hunt for the truth—and a traitor—in this tension-laden story of secrets, betrayal, and second chances.

Editorial Reviews

Houston detective Bree Grayson was duck hunting with Senator McKenna, the man who became her father figure when her own father stepped out, when he was shot. She sets off in search of the suspect but is abducted herself. She narrowly escapes thanks to the help of a childhood friend who's now an FBI agent, Jack Shannon. Jack has always harbored romantic feelings for Bree, but when she started dating his brother, Adam, Jack knew he had to walk away. Adam and Bree eventually broke up, and now that Jack is back in town and there is a terrorist on the loose, he feels compelled to protect her at all costs. Jack and Bree lean on their faith as they work together to take down a man on the run who has connections to Bree's complicated past.VERDICT Harris's (Deadly Intentions) story reads like a low-budget action film with over-the-top exploits and suspects that include international terrorists. Unfortunately, the romance between Jack and Bree isn't enough to keep readers hanging on.—Kara Kohn, Plainfield P.L, IL
