When Casey Cox's best friend is found murdered, she's the chief suspect. On the run, she must rely on every instinct to stay off the grid and also figure out who could have murdered Brent and why they are framing her.
Dylan Roberts is a young veteran with PTSD. With a background in investigation, he's hired to help the police find this elusive Casey Cox, but he soon realizes there is a lot more going on both with this situation and Casey's background. Things are not as they seem.
As Casey travels from state to state, she is drawn to help those she comes across, even at the risk of exposing her true identity. Based off the classic TV series The Fugitive, Casey's bent toward doing right and helping others may end up being her downfall.
Suspense is not my normal reading genre, but this series has come so highly recommended that I wanted to check it out. It was really good and I enjoyed it. My one small complaint was that there were often major coincidences that led the characters to make the choices they did, which stretched suspension of disbelief. Overall, however, it's a gripping and exciting story and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
