When cybercriminals hack into the US Marshals' Witness Protection database and auction off witnesses' personal details to the highest bidders, the RED Team led by FBI Agent Sean Nichols begins a high-stakes chase to find the hacker. But before he can even get started, the first witness is targeted and barely escapes with her life. Sean believes Phantom, an obsessed hacker who previously outwitted the top minds in the field, is behind the attack, and Sean needs this witness's help, as she's the person who has come closest to discovering Phantom's identity.
Trouble is, she's a witness under the care of US Marshal Taylor Mills, and Sean is reluctant to work with the captivating marshal who knows his deepest secrets. But Phantom claims he knows where the witness is hiding and will kill her, so to stop the hacker, Sean and Taylor must work through their personal pain and learn to trust each other. . . . The seconds are ticking down before someone dies.
Seconds to Live by Susan Sleeman is book one in her Homeland Heroes series. When criminals hack into the Witness Protection database, U.S. Marshal Taylor Mills and FBI Agent Sean Nichols are thrust together to solve the case. The problem is, Taylor knows all of Sean’s deep, dark secrets and he’s reluctant to work with her. As usual Susan hooks you with her first sentence and keeps you on the line all the way to the end! I loved the interaction between all the members of the Red group. The author does a great job explaining how different branches of law enforcement works without getting too technical. Because of past experiences both Taylor and Sean had a lot of issues to work through; Trust being the main one. Once they realized that God had always been there for them it was easier to trust each other. The action was pretty intense at times and you never knew what was going to happen next!
I received this book from the author for my honest review.
