he emerged from the mist...right in front of Cathy Weaver's car-running from would be killers who were rapidly closing in. One look at his fog shrouded form told Cathy this sexy stranger needed her help. Victor Holland's story sounded like the raving of a man on the brink of madness, but his status as a hunted man was supported by the haunted look in his eyes--and the bullet hole in his shoulder. As each hour brought pursuers ever closer, Cathy was powerless to resist this desperate man... Victor's kisses tasted of deception and desire, unleashing a thirst in Cathy that not even fear could quench. But was she giving her trust to a man in danger...or trusting her life to a dangerous man?
I love this story very much. I recommend the book Unveiled which has this story included in it's three "short stories". You will love them all as I did. So touching and surprising. If you're a book interpreter like me you'll love it.
Yes, she has certainly done it again. This book was very good. The romance and mystery were excellent. I have never read a bad book by Mrs. Gerritsen. I hope she keeps them coming. I for one am very glad she left the medical profession to become an author.
I read "Whistleblower" when it was first published in 1992 and recently picked up my copy again (Yep, it's a keeper). The book is a true thriller, offering a clear glimpse of the suspense she would soon unleash on mainstream readers. At the time, I actually thought it was a little too punishing for category romance, with what happens to Cathy's friend Sarah (that certainly isn't what I wanted to happen after Gerritsen spent a lot of time developing the character and getting us to like her. It only made it more shattering). Still, I think those are the very reason her mainstream fans might like this one too. It's full of shocks and surprises, even ones that are hard to take, because Gerritsen takes no prisoners. The love story is nicely understated and never becomes too swoony. Rather, it's a suspenseful story about government conspiracies and those who dare to tell the truth. As good as--or better--than her more celebrated releases, but at a better price. You can't go wrong.
