As a fellow North Carolinian, I've been following J. D. Rhoades books for years. They are usually set in our state and are high fueled action pieces that keep one compulsively reading.We have a killer that takes out whole families, immigrants from the middle East, all made to look like murder-suicides, the father hanging the family. beginning with the youngest child up to the wife, then himself. How he does that is unknown and there's always a small iron horse left at the crime scene.One man knows though. Lt. Colonel Mark Bishop, an anti-terrorism expert who considers something he did to make him a war criminal. That the U.S. government didn't agree doesn't matter. He built his own prison and resides there guarded by the very man he committed the act to save. Able to leave whenever he wants, he sits there and has for a few years.It would take something extraordinary to get him out of his self-imposed prison.Melissa Saxon is the FBI special agent in charge of the investigation.Bishop finally comes out and the two hook up to stop this killer, known to Bishop, and finally, the shadowy, powerful figure in the background that has other plans for all parties on both sides.Loved this one.
