Description:
EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is used to high-stress situations, but being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient--and a serial killer on the loose--tests her skills and her nerve to the limit. She survives with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield's help. But she's not out of the woods yet.
In the ensuing days, Penny finds herself under attack. And when news reaches Holt that he may not have gotten his man after all, it will take all he and Penny have to catch a killer--before the killer catches one of them.
Book Trailer:
This is the first book in Lynette Eason's new series Extreme Measures.
This book is set in the mountains of North Carolina and centers around Penny Carlton and FBI Special Agent Holton Satterfield. Penny is a paramedic and rescue pilot for Lifeflight. Penny is also the daughter of movie star Geneva Queen. Penny's character is quiet interesting. As a young girl she experience a trauma that has shaped the young woman she has become. First she's very smart, caring, compassionate, well respected, speaks her mind, but also keeps her personal life very private. She doesn't try to hide it, but she also doesn't advertise it. In the last 5 years Holt has went from one crisis to another it seems. First his partener was murdered during an attempted rescue attempt during a kidnapping, his sister was arrested and confessed to killing her husband, then while trying to bring in a serial killer was critically injured. Holt is a great guy, but also a well respected agent. Everyone likes him, including Penny.
One stormy afternoon Penny gets a call out for a young injured girl who needed immediate transfer. Weighing her options and looking at the storm she agreed to take off, hoping if all went well she would just beat the storm. Of course nothing goes as planned and suddenly Penny finds herself flying in the worse storm she ever flown in. Holt finds out his serial killer on death row has escaped and thinks he has headed for Mount Mitchell where he could hideout.
This book is full blown edge of your seat suspense from the first page. The plot is both intriguing and realistic. The characters are fully developed showing both their strengths and flaws. The author has a talent for pulling the reader into the story and holding them until the last page is turned. This book was no different. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. This is definitely a book I would recommend to anyone who loves a great suspense.
