Beginning:
A man stood in the middle of the road, just inside the perimeter, and there was something wrong with him.Friday 56 (from location 560 on my Kindle):
"You're going to have to say something sometime," Kate said. "I'm not going to be able to figure it out on my own."This week I am spotlighting Hostile Witness by Leigh Adams. This is one of Crooked Lane Books's February releases. Here is the description from Amazon:
When single mom and computer security specialist Kate Ford is suddenly and mysteriously put on administrative leave, she finds herself drawn into the drama of a lurid kidnapping case with ties to her company. Kate has enough on her plate dealing with a condition that leaves her extra-sensitive to stimuli, but the case is too juicy to leave untouched.
But what begins as simple curiosity quickly leads her to the country’s darkest corners of power and leaves her and her family the target of a ruthless network of war profiteers, who will stop at nothing to protect their billion-dollar interests in Hostile Witness, the first in this sharp and engaging series.
