About this audiobook
Hoping to escape unwanted celebrity in the aftermath of a notorious incident, Ramsey Hunt settles in the Rockies, determined to bury himself in the safety of a solitary existence. But his isolation is shattered when he stumbles upon a small girl unconscious in the high-altitude forest. When strangers pursue Ramsey to his private meadow in an attempt to kill him and the girl, he's mystified that anyone would wish her harm. And the child can't shed any light on the subject: she's mute.
Molly Santera, the girl's mother, catches up with Ramsey and her daughter, mistaking her daughter's savior for a kidnapper. But soon Ramsey's real role becomes clear. With the strangers in pursuit, the trio flees to Chicago for sanctuary. Even there, however, the child's enemies prove as relentless as their motives are baffling.
With an unexpected assist from FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock (last seen in The Maze), Molly and Ramsey begin to unravel the clues, and in the process they make an astonishing discovery as to the true nature of the target.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story dragged forever. It dragged on way to long! The romance just kinda happened. But my main pet peeve was when the author swallowed audibly constantly!! Omg so annoying!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5the title doesn't load fully,the big twist remains a secret
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This being the third book in this series that I've read Catherine Coulter did not disappoint, good plot, fast moving. I'm looking forward to the next in this series :)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love Catherine Coulter books, but...... this one I did not like! How many traumas can a little six year old child reasonably endure? 2 kidnappings, her father being blown up in front of her, savior being shot 3 times, etc., and she is just a normal little girl? It just felt like a loose, wet knot that needed to squeezed and tightened. There were good parts, but it does not equal up to other books I have read
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good suspense story with a very intense beginning. The plot got complex but didn't make much progress in solving the main problem. The little romance it had was rather abrupt. Judge Ramsey rescues a little girl who has been badly beaten then he is discovered by her mother Molly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Judge Ramsey Hunt is at his cabin in the woods when he discovers a little girl who’s been abused. But who’s after her and why? Eventually, Molly, her mother finds them… but so do the bad guys. This one was a game of cat and mouse as the trio was on the run the majority of the book, escaping one bad situation after the other. Then they have to figure out who is after them, and why. Quite a page-turner! These first few books feature different characters, as opposed to later books in the series, where Savich and Sherlock become the main players, but they still make a brief appearance in this one. An exciting read!
