A bank robbery.

A shooting.

A car chase.

And that was just PI Miranda Steele’s morning.

After a relaxing vacation in the North Georgia Mountains with her sexy husband and boss, Miranda gets mixed up in a bank robbery that leads to a desperate hunt for a missing woman. Never in her life would she have guessed it would be that woman, but she can’t give up now.

The woman’s life is in danger.

As well as the trust of Miranda’s new team at the Parker Investigative Agency.

On a twisted trail of violence, kidnapping, and mind control, Miranda is forced to face a frightening question.

Can someone brainwash you to do something against your will?

Like rob a bank and kill everyone in your way?

The team is always better than onel

Another great thriller. The team gets help from the Version and the police to help locate the culprits of the attempted bank robbery. Certainly were led around trying to find the culprits but it finally started to come together. Certainly a thriller that's not over yet. Let's read on.

This is another great Miranda and Parker story. I have read the other nine books and find this one just as good. I cannot wait for the next volume to come out. I hope you can enjoy these books as much as I have.

Great read!

Love the characters in this series! Although Miranda seems to lose some of her ability to fight at times and needs to be rescued by someone else or gain her inner strength. Sometimes that gets old.

This was another great story in the Iranian. Parker mystery series. This one was a little rough with the use of zombies and an elixir that could change your mind and do unbelievable things to others. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

I love Linsey Laniers novels and this continuation to her Miranda and Parker mystery was no exception. She writes beautifully in a way to keep her readers wanting more after each novel.

Did not like

This one missed the mark for me. I felt a disconnect with the overall story. Some books are like that. On to book 11.

Mind-Control

This story got really creepy, especially underground with Miranda and Parker. Another exciting case, but not really solved. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Fast paced and suspense

Gripping story line with mystery and suspense woven through the entire story. Characters are mysterious and add to the suspense.

Too many smart bad guys

As a person with decades of health care knowledge, this book is very disturbing, as there is too much reality.
