People call Florida state prosecutor Grace Courtemanche the Blond Bulldozer because she wins every case she handles. However, it seems that Grace's winning streak is about to end when she receives a call from a terrified young woman named Lia Grant. Lia has been buried alive with a cell phone programmed to only call Grace. If Grace doesn't quickly figure out where Lia is, Lia will die. Grace is even more rattled when she discovers the psycho who buried Lia has also purchased two additional phones. Fortunately for Grace, legendary FBI negotiator Hatch Hatcher just happens to be traveling through Cypress Bend to attend to a personal matter, and he is more than willing to help. Unfortunately for Grace, Hatch is her smooth-talking, sexy-as-sin ex-husband, whom Grace swore she never wanted to see again. When it comes to spine-tingling, nerve-jangling romantic suspense, Coriell delivers the literary goods, and the second in her Apostles series is just the ticket for fans of Allison Brennan, Lisa Gardner, and Karen Rose.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
