Criminal psychologist
Erin Larson's dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt
when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound
and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her
job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At
least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving
missing persons cold cases.
Nathan Campbell's father was
investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to
enlist Erin's help to solve the case. She's good at what she does. The
only problem? She's his ex.
As the two dig deeper, it becomes
clear that they, too, are being targeted--and that the answers to their
questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and
longs to forget.
The race is on for the truth in this gripping
and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today
bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.
MY REVIEW: "Deadly Target", Book Two in author Elizabeth Goddard's "Rocky Mountain Courage Series", is an action-packed thrill ride from beginning to end. Fans of inspirational romantic suspense will not be able to put this book down until they have turned the final page. Puget Sound, WA is usually a place of peaceful refuge for criminal psychologist Erin Larson. The rhythm of the paddle strokes propelling her kayak across the blue water lulls her into a sense of contentment. However, that peace comes to screaming halt on one such outing when she and her friend Carissa barely escape with their lives when their kayaks are overrun by a speeding power boat. Just moments after surviving this terrifying attack, Erin is stunned to receive a call from her former love Nathan Campbell advising that her mother has been hospitalized after a suicide attempt. Heading back to Montana to care for her mom means bringing her current career to a halt and coming face-to-face with the man she left behind five years ago. She had hurt Nathan terribly when she'd left, but, for reasons of her own, she just couldn't stay. Nathan Campbell had followed his father into a law enforcement career, working for the local sheriff's department as a search ans rescue technical climber and an evidence dive team member. His father had left Nathan and his mother over twenty years ago and become a detective in Boston. Nathan had rarely seen his father, and he still carried the hurt from his betrayal. Now, his father was suddenly back in Montana for a visit and to speak with Nathan on an important matter. While his father is telling Nathan about a cold case that he has been working on, someone shoots and grievously wounds his father, who had told Nathan to keep their talk a secret and to trust no one. As his father clings to life in the ICU, Nathan begins his own investigation into the shooting as well as the cold case itself. He turns to Erin for help. Erin has kept her podcast, Missing Children , going since returning to Montana, and she has been trying to determine the reason behind her mother's suicide attempt. She and Nathan begin to work together to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together, and soon they find themselves caught in the target sights of a deadly evil force. Can they find the truth and bring this deadly reign of terror to an end? Is there hope for a new beginning for Erin and Nathan with a chance for a bright and happy future together? "Deadly Target" will keep readers on the edge of there seats until all is resolved, and those same readers will also greatly enjoy "Present Danger", Book One in the series.
