In short, fast, cliff-hanging chapters this first-time author seems to be a copycat James Patterson, which is hardly surprising since he has been Patterson’s co-writer on several books (Lifeguard, Judge and Jury). This is his first solo novel and it’s terrific. I liked the characters, the plot, the pace, the tension, the duplicity, the detection, the deception, the whole thing. Read it and see.
A breathtaking novel of suspense from the co-author of five bestselling James Patterson novels, including 'Judge and Jury' and 'Lifeguard'. THERE ARE NO RULES IN THE BLUE ZONE. They were the perfect family. And he was the perfect family man. One day changed it all. Arrested for racketeering, Ben Raab must take his family into America's Witness Protection Programme. Only his eldest daughter, Kate, chooses to stay on the outside. But the Programme's perfect success rate is about to come to a shocking end. A case agent is tortured to death and Ben vanishes. The one person who might be able to find him is Kate. Pursued by killers, forced to question everything she knows about her life so far, Kate is plunged into a terrifying existence for which nothing has prepared her. Most people would call it certain death. The FBI calls it the Blue Zone.
The Blue Zone is a tense and chilling thriller with a whole lot of heart.’ James Patterson
‘Real fear, real thrills, real suspense…real good.’ Lee Child
‘A spine-chilling mystery with a thrilling twist’ Cosmopolitan
