Summary: A Thrilling Chase
Review: This thriller doesn't fail in delivering a wild ride where it's never certain who's who and who is really a friend or an enemy. It's an edge-of-the seat chase involving a ruthless assassin, Michael Chambers, his prey who is suffering amnesia, Michael's wife, Laura who suffers from agoraphobia and the FBI.

Lauren Chambers thinks she knows her husband, but when he fails to come home after a skiing trip with his buddies, she begins to have her doubts. He seems to have vanished from the face of the earth, and this doesn't sit well with the agoraphobic doctor. To top off her insecurities, she begins to get the feeling that she's being followed. After visiting the Sheriff's department to report Michael missing, she attends a Neighbourhood Watch meeting and meets a private investigator who agrees to help her find her husband.

Meanwhile we follow Michael's plight as he wakes up in hospital, not knowing who is, where he is or how he got there. He is also unaware of how he happened to have been shot in the leg. All he knows for sure is that he doesn't want to hang around for the police to come and interview him. So he makes himself scarce with, not only the police, but also the FBI hot on his trail.

From this beginning, I was hooked and just had to keep reading to find out what the heck was going on. No-one seemed to be who they said they were; no-one could be trusted. Enemies were everywhere and all intent on tracking down the elusive Harper Payne. Oh yes, that's right, just who is Harper Payne anyway.

This is a superb book of cat and mouse that had me guessing right from the opening chapter. It's recommended for all those who love the world of acronyms - you know FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.
