Relentless

The other reviewer already talked about the plot. What I liked was there were two actual stories in this book, one of which was not settled at the end. I loved the way Kate finally conveyed the information Vince needed to solve his case. The acquiescence happed at a sweet time and almost brought tears to my eyes. The strain of the situation the characters faced built nicely for the next two books which were also good. My favorite our of the four books in this series was the first one, Closer, where we are introduced to the series characters and the overarching plot running through all four books.

United Nations forensic accountant Kate Rydell is following the money trail in Kosovo when she uncovers links to a mysteriously shrouded group Omicrom with nebulous ties to the CIA. As she digs deeper into this top secret organization, Kate finds strong evidence that Omicron has developed a dangerous weapon of mass destruction, banned under international law. She tries to expose the group, but makes little progress and t now this clandestine faction knows she is investigating them. Her audit returns her to Los Angeles where she goes undercover as a room service worker in the Meridian Hotel in her efforts to prevent a human-made tragedy. However, when she sees a homicide, Kate ponders getting involved or keeping her identity secret. Detective Vince Yarrow needs her help to bring in a killer, but she needs his to stop the goliath Omicron. Though over the top, no one will care as this is an exhilarating, adrenalin pumping romantic suspense thriller that starts off fast-paced and relentlessly keeps the action going until the final climax. Kate is a fabulous heroine who feels a deep need to prevent a tragedy while Vince is attracted to her from their first encounter with a deep need to prevent a tragedy from occurring to her. Fans will appreciate this thrill a page tale. Harriet Klausner
