Eason’s second novel in the Hidden Identity series (after No One to Trust) opens suspensefully: in the middle of Danielle Harding’s plan to escape her abusive husband, he unexpectedly sends his brother Stuart to fetch something from the safe she has already emptied. From there, the suspense never lets up. Dani manages to get away, picking up Simon, her deaf son, as planned, but on the same day, her husband is killed. Now the danger escalates. Stuart is stalking them; no matter where they go, he or his henchmen turn up to threaten their very lives. When Dani finally calls Operation Refuge, a government-sanctioned protection program, Adam Buchanan and his team promise to help her and stop Stuart’s gang’s advances. But despite OR’s best efforts to take her undercover, Dani’s pursuers track them down. How do they keep finding them? Adam and Dani value family deeply: both are forced to sacrifice much to protect loved ones, heal damaged relationships, and stop evil. Readers will be on the edge of their seats till the final chapter. Agency: Steve Laube Agency.
