Hostage/Kay Hooper/306 pages

Haven, a private security firm, has sent an operative into the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee to look for an escaped felon. The felon, a mentally unstable bank robber, may have more secrets than just where he hid the ten million dollars he stole. Luther Brinkman, the Haven operative, is saved by Callie Davis, an undercover FBI agent. Together they try to devise a plan on how to deal with their shared target.


Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, Hollis Templeton and Reese DeMarco are visiting Anna Alexander, a widow looking to contact her husband with the help of mediums. Hollis is trying to learn how to control her powers with Reese's supervision. This training exercise turns into much more.


This is the latest installment of the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit. The body count in this novel is remarkably low compared to the other books, and that's a welcome change. However, this book also lacked the tension and excitement of the other books. All the conflicts were pretty easily handled. It was still enjoyable, but I'm hoping for more in the next one.
