A Gordon myself and a speed reader,  I probably go through  five or six  suspense novels and  thrillers a week - I'm a Kindle junkie. Most of them I've begun to forget by the time I've deleted their cover art from my carousel ... but this book, I will remember for some time to come.  A very gripping story with a cast of all too real characters, caught up in a story out of today's headlines. So vividly told, it's as if you're watching it happening, not just reading words on a page. An unusual way of telling a story, but riveting in this case.As the reader, you know a tragic event is coming and  meet the various participants in advance to  begin to see into their lives, and become involved ourselves in the events that are  to come. Our heroine is not gorgeous, brilliant or especially talented and has backed away from life since a child, but she has one unique gift she dreads but cannot avoid, and in using that gift, she shows the true meaning of courage.  Will comment that I expect our author feels as many of us do, that in events such as these, far too much attention is given to the perpetrators, and not nearly enough to those who rise above themselves to act with remarkable courage to prevent further tragedy. Our heroine reflects their selfless efforts.An outstanding read, but I warn you ... start reading early in the day and forget everything else or you'll be up all night ... this is a book you cannot put down!
