SANCTUARY LOST
U.S. Marshal John Mason gains full custody of his son and is transferred to Sanctuary, a witness protection town that isn't on any map. When the town's first ever murder occurs, John's plans to reconnect with his boy are derailed by the investigation.
Andra Caleri gave up her old life a long time ago, but someone wants her out of Sanctuary -- to pay. As accusations fly and John uncovers a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Washington, Andra's past comes back in a true test of the mercy she received. Can John give up what he wants the most to bring the truth to light?
My Review:
published in 2014
However unlikely the idea of an entire WITSEC community hidden away in a nearly unreachable valley, I found myself drawn into the concept and enjoyed my first Sanctuary adventure.
Though, fair warning it's super edgy, including some graphic violence, so this suspense might not be for everyone. More for readers who like a little grit with their mysteries. And I had a hard time relating to the heroine's past -- let's just say my understanding of mercy and forgiveness was stretched to capacity...which isn't necessarily a bad thing. :-)
Love the way we are introduced to the town through the eyes of the new sheriff and his young son. I can see all kinds of potential for future novels -- both in the romance and the suspense department. Looking forward to reading more. Well, listening to more since I bought the audible version. :-)
