Great Read!
I really enjoyed this book! The story flowed and it was interesting to read about the whole fugitive tracking process.
I especially like reading about places and names that I know (or recognize) and can picture in my mind, it makes the story more real.
If you like to read about police work, and some of the back story, this is it!

I'll be honest and admit I know the author before I write my review. I was also an advanced reader for this book.
That out of the way, if you enjoy police procedurals, crime novels, or just appreciate a writer with style, I'd recommend checking out this series.
Stephen has taken some of his best cases, made up a few, and turned them into stories of what it is REALLY like in the business.

Great insight to the hunt for a criminal
A great read for anyone who is interested in the process of locating and capturing a criminal. Extra special to me is that it takes place in New Hampshire. Excellent read.
