A thriller from the beginning to the end! Jon Reznick, former Delta, who has worked for the F.B.I receives a call that his daughter is in the hospital, the victim of a hit and run. He arrives at her bedside to find that she is alert, but things take a turn for the worse and she is put in a medically induced coma. Will she survive? As Jon learns who is responsible for her accident, a foreign diplomat with immunity, he becomes enraged and proceeds to do what he does best. He will use his many talents and all sources available when the investigation stalls, and this time it is personal. The local NYPD and Feds know that they cannot contain Jon Reznick when he is determined to right a wrong. I have read and thoroughly enjoyed all of the Jon Renick thrillers. Once you start, you will not want to stop until the end of the book – non-stop action! I know I would love to have a “Jon Reznick” on my side. Terrific read!

Did an employee of the embassy take the car. They need this to be resolved
as soon as possible.
For Jon the investigation is slow, he wants answers..Time to think sitting by Lauren’s bed side as she fights for her life. He starts to investigate, and the more he uncovers. Not playing by rules, or what the FBI wants him to do.
His books are great, the plot flows, this book seems personal to us as readers that have been following him. Of his love for Lauren.
Given ARC by Net Galley and Amazon UK for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
A very fast paced read about an ex-Delta Force US Army Rangers and his daughter.
As he lost his wife in 9/11, his daughter is the only most important person in his life, but she suffered a hit and run accident and she’s in a coma induced hospitalized now. Of course, Jon Reznick wants revenge and he goes against everyone and everything, dismissing any advice and help from the authorities and friends.
I enjoyed the writing, the fast-paced story and felt the adrenaline of the rollercoaster events. The only thing that I didn’t like was that he was pictured as not knowing his daughter at all, about her current life and her wishes and abilities as it’s expected from a father that his only close relative is his daughter but at the same time can’t be blamed as he obviously dedicated his life to his job and maybe this was expected.
It seems that I have to go back and read all the other books in the series because it definitely draws my attention.
I won this kindle e-book version in a Goodreads giveaway. While this book is the sixth in the series it worked as a standalone. This well-written story takes place in New York and starts when Jon Reznick’s daughter is run over by a hit-and-run driver while she is in a crosswalk. With this start, the story is off and running. Jon is former military and occasionally a consultant for the FBI. The plot focuses on Jon dealing with his daughter’s medical condition as well as finding out who hit her and ensuring they are punished.
There was definitely character development in this story as Jon learns more about himself, his daughter, and the person who hit her. The supporting characters are compassionate. but sometimes I was frustrated with Jon. I don’t want to say a lot more due to spoilers, but this thriller covers everything from grief to politics, diplomats, drugs, prostitution, anger, frustration, murder, and so much more.
I was emotionally involved in the first chapter and the fast-paced action did not let up throughout most of the book. I need to read the first five books in the series.
