From the number one New York Times bestselling coauthor of Judge & Jury and Lifeguard comes this electrifying solo debut, The Blue Zone, Kate Raab`s life seems almost perfect: her boyfriend, her job, her until her father runs into trouble with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his former accomplices in exchange for his family`s placement in the Witness Protection Program. But one of them gets cold feet. In a flash, everything Kate can count on is gone. Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her father has disappeared - into what the WITSEC agency calls the blue zone - and someone close to him is found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy, and her father`s menacing friends circling with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father - and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.
