Carter Blake can find almost anyone. But when he's explicitly told "Don't look for me" by someone he cares about, it's a promise he tries his best to keep. When that person goes missing though, Blake isn't the only person looking for her, and he finds himself pushed to his limits to outwit a hitman intent on killing her for the secrets she knows.

Big fan of the Carter Blake series. He's a complicated chap, and so much more than your average tough guy running round shooting people. This instalment gives us a bit more background on his past, and his relationship with Carol Langford. Really well paced page turner, that keeps Mason Cross well and truly on my list of authors who automatically make my TBR pile.

I have loved Mason Cross's books since day 1 and this one is just as loved. Great story and could not put it down.

Thanks for the advanced copy, can't wait for his next publication.

This is the fourth in the Carter Blake series – following on from The Killing Season, The Samaritan and The Time to Kill. This novel reveals a little more of Blake’s past, as we learn how he informed his girlfriend, Carol Langford, in 2010 (after the murder of Senator John Carlson and his wife, which has been the focus of a previous book) that she had to disappear. Carol walked away from her previous life, leaving only a terse note for Blake – “Don’t Look for Me.”

Years have passed and Carter Blake is having something of a rest. However, relaxation is turning to boredom, and so he welcomes an unexpected email from Sarah Blackwell in Nevada. Sarah is concerned, as her neighbour has suddenly vanished. She befriended Rebecca, who lived quietly with husband Dom; even though she found her husband taciturn and unwelcoming. However, the couple suddenly disappear and Sarah sees two men break into their house. It turns out that Rebecca is Carol and, suddenly, a search has become personal for Blake.

This series just gets better and better. It is soon apparent that there is another person on Rebecca and Dom’s tail and he does not seem the kind of man who you want to find you… If Carol did not want Blake to find her, then why did she leave behind his email for her neighbour to find and how can Blake do his job with Sarah in tow, when he is used to working alone? Both the addition of Sarah, who is an excellent character, and the personal involvement of Blake in the chase, make this an interesting and exciting addition to the series. I look forward to reading more thrillers featuring Carter Blake and must thank the publisher, and NetGalley, for a review copy of this book.

I loved this book. After the devastating finale of Winterlong, it feels like the beginning of a new era for Carter Blake and this book was the perfect jumping on point for new readers. Great action, great characters and the story rips along.
