Overview

"From New York Times bestselling author CJ Lyons: Former FBI Special Agent Lucy Guardino faces what may be her greatest challenge: turning forty. It's been some birthday, filled with black balloons and gag gifts, a visit to her surgeon who isn't happy with the way her leg has healed and suggests amputation as an option ""before she gets too old,"" and now a missed message from an old friend, a sheriff in a remote region of Idaho's Bitterroot mountains, who needs her help. Lucy calls back only to learn he's missing, presumed dead. Was it an accident? Suicide? Murder? The grieving widow and stunned community aren't sure what the truth is. Accompanied by her husband, Nick, and armed only with her intuition, Lucy journeys into the wilderness to find her friend and solve the mystery. At least that's the plan. Until Nick ends up in the crosshairs of a killer more cunning and devious than any Lucy has faced before.

My Book Addiction on HARD FALL A powerful taut thriller Mystery Gazette Lyons proves once again that she is a master of suspense. RT Book Reviews Tinged with a compelling sense of dread, there are echoes of Kathy Reichs here, but Lyons has her own distinctive voice, and one that is a little more compassionate. She allows her female protagonist to become much more than just a woman in peril. Daily Mail Smart and intriguing, and her character development is so incredible that she leaves me literally breathless waiting to see what will happen next. Becky Lejeune, Bookbitch.com
