The book moves along at a nice pace but the writing isn't great -- just so-so. The premise behind the book is intriguing but I thought it fell flat at the end.

Gilstrap is so very good. This is the second standalone, albeit with ties to the Grave series, and it was so fun to read. We learned the origin story of one of the primary characters in the main series as well.
This poor family, it was some ride. If it wasn’t for bad luck..., well, you know. Gilstrap created a truly evil bad guy. I only wish he got more of his own medicine. I also wonder what happened to the rest of these characters. While we know about Wolverine, the others may still have stories to tell. If you love the Grave books, don’t miss this one.

I saw this book and read it on the strength of the blurb. A fast-paced thriller which stands the test of time, it is penned in such a wonderful manner that it takes you on an emotional journey along with the main characters. There are not too many twists and turns, just a good plot and an enjoyable read.

Jake and Carolyn Brighton are ordinary citizens with a big secret in their past - they're at the top of America's Most Wanted list. Fourteen years ago, they were charged with murder and creating a huge environmental disaster. Now they live under the radar, taking low paying jobs that don't require much in the way background checks and staying off the grid as much as possible. When Jake's cover is blown in a totally unlucky coincidence, they have to go on the run and try to clear their names.
When I first read this book a long time ago (after buying the paperback at BORDERS!), the family love and justice themes really shined through and I absolutely loved it. On re-reading the Kindle version, the rest of the book doesn't hold up quite as well. The FBI plot just seems a little too easy and formulaic. The book is still really good, but the supporting elements take you out of it just a bit.
