Retired agent returns to action to seek the one that got away. Don’t be turned off by the familiar theme of this fast-paced thriller\u2014there is plenty of originality and suspense to make it worthwhile. For starters, at 59, tiny, white-haired, former FBI agent Brigid Quinn defies ageist stereotyping, and her chutzpah alone makes this an entertaining read. When Quinn thinks evidence from a string of murders isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, she goes rogue to find the killer of her one-time prot\u00e9g\u00e9. As she also struggles to honor her commitment to her new husband and the life they’ve created, demons from her glory days keep interfering. Suspects abound, but Quinn’s obsession could cost her her marriage\u2014or her life. You may find yourself hoping Quinn stays out of retirement for plenty of sequels. (Silver Century readers may be intrigued to know that the author met with a harsh rejection at first: an agent told her that \u201cNobody is interested in a woman older than 30.\u201d)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
