My Review ~

Michael Hunt was presumed dead after a bomb exploded and there were no identifiable remains aside from his DNA. For eight months his family has mourned him, while he is secretly working an undercover assignment with the cartel. Rescued from the cartel his life is on the line. Both the cartel and the Atlanta police department are hunting him down. Betrayed by corruption in the police department and the drug lord who wants him dead, Michael is on the run. Olivia Hamilton and her brother attempt to help, only involving themselves in the deadly chase.

A fast-paced suspense kept me turning the pages of this very messy scenario. Characters run the gamut throughout this deadly pursuit for one man's life, involving a young woman and her deaf brother who are in as deep as the main character. No matter where they turn danger lurks around every corner, and there is no end to the number of hitmen seeking to kill them. As romance develops it also complicates matters. The main character is in over his head. The author has done her homework well. Police procedurals are well researched and utilized throughout this book, and the evils of the drug cartel are well represented. There is a lot to absorb throughout this thriller. If you don't mind sitting on the edge of your seat you'll love "Hidden Agenda!"
