A man’s quest to find answers for those who are haunted by the past leads him deeper into the shadows in this electrifying New York Times bestseller from the author of Promise Not to Tell.Quinton Zane is back.Jack Lancaster, consultant to the FBI, has always been drawn to the coldest of cold cases, the kind that law enforcement either considers unsolvable or else has chalked up to accidents or … or else has chalked up to accidents or suicides. As a survivor of a fire, he finds himself uniquely compelled by arson cases. His almost preternatural ability to get inside the killer’s head has garnered him a reputation in some circles–and complicated his personal life. The more cases Jack solves, the closer he slips into the darkness. His only solace is Winter Meadows, a meditation therapist. After particularly grisly cases, Winter can lead Jack back to peace.
But as long as Quinton Zane is alive, Jack will not be at peace for long. Having solidified his position as the power behind the throne of his biological family’s hedge fund, Zane sets out to get rid of Anson Salinas’s foster sons, starting with Jack.

Enjoyed the series.
Excellent book from an excellent author!!
I read all of Jane Anne Krenz’ books, they’re always a good read.
I enjoy reading all Jayne Ann Krentz.
Loved it. But I love all her books
As usual, Jayne Anne Krentz delivers. Jack, the survivor of a fire, specialises in cold cases that involve arson. He pays for it with a cold darkness in his soul until he finds a woman who can help him. Winter, a meditation guide anchors him and keeps his mind clear for the work he must do. Together they, and Jack’s brothers, track down the cult leader arsonist who has done so much damage to so many people. Krentz’s characters are quirky as usual. So much fun!
I had some real mixed feelings about this book. I loved the crime thriller part of the story (especially the ending!!!) that tied up the series trilogy. If I were rating just that part, it would be a 4.5star rating. However, there was the whole “romance” part of the story that I really didn’t like or enjoy and at some parts, found myself skimming those parts. The “romance” and dynamics between Jack and Winter was just weird and boring. Up until the ending, I would have rated that part of the story a 1star rating at best. But I did like how they worked out going into the final chapters and would give their “romance” a 2-2.5star rating.
Overall, I liked the story and would rate it 3-3.5stars.
You can’t go wrong with a JAK book if you’re after HEA and an interesting mystery to solve.
This book brings us to the final confrontation of Anson Salinas and his adopted sons with Quinton Zane, the man responsible for killing his sons mothers. Jack Lancaster has been soloving cold cases involving arson, the method used to kill his mother, hoping to find connections to Zane. He has an almost uncanny ability to link clues to solve crimes. However he has sleep problems connected to his method and seeks the help of meditation guide Winter Meadows. She has problems of her own from her ability to hypnotize people, an ability that she rarely reveals. An attempt on Winter’s life throws them together and fans the flame of attraction between them. This book was a real page turner and I enjoyed it immensely.
It was a great conclusion to the trilogy. Wrapped it up, got the bad guy and gets the girl. What more can you ask for.
Okay
In the third book of the Sons of Anson Salinas trilogy by Jayne Ann Krentz, we get the conclusion of the story arc that began when Quentin Zane set fire to the compound he’d set up to bilk people out of money. Three boys were left with no one, so Anson Salinas took them in and raised them as his own. This book tells the story of the third boy, Jack Lancaster.
I’ve been waiting for Untouchable since I finished Promise Not to Tell, last year! How would it end? What twists would the author put in the book to lead us one way while she wrote the story the other? I do wonder, if Quentin Zane hadn’t become so involved in his past, would he have made the mistakes he made to allow the book to end as it did?
Jack and his romantic interest, Winter Meadows hit it off and were a great couple. The amount of metaphysical ability of both Jack and Winter was interesting, and I felt it added to the book. The inclusion of Eclipse Bay was a surprise, but it also was a great tie-in to some of the other series books written by Krentz.
I enjoyed Untouchable. It was a one afternoon read for me and a great escape. Was it the best ever written by Krentz? No, but a good book for an rainy afternoon.
The author’s books have gotten darker over the decades, more suspense and less romance, but nonetheless, still great reads. While I still prefer the books written under the pen, Amanda Quick, I have not read a single one that I regretting spending my time. Both Jack Lancaster, Winter Meadows and the villain, Quinton Zane, all went through the foster system. However, Jack and Winter became a family with their foster parents and sibs, Quinton just became evil. Now Jack and Winter, both possessing paranormal abilities, have landed in the small California town of Eclipse Bay, and someone means them harm. A fast pace page turner, but less character development than in previous books. One con, other towns in which previous books took place are mentioned, but despite having read all the previous books, I can’t remember, which book went with what town.
Wonderful end to the series.
Jayne Ann Krentz is one of those authors I know I am going to enjoy. I don’t need the blurb, or the cover, or even an idea as to who the book will feature to know that I am going to want to read it.
Jack and Winter’s story is no different. I enjoyed it, I liked the characters, I liked the resolution of the story of the boys rescued from the cult. And, I loved the quirky nature of the characters.
I think, of all of the things I like about this author, the quirkiness of the characters is what I love the most. They are nerds, or a little awkward, or a little unsure of themselves, so they are even more approachable as characters, and they draw you in.
Telling too much about what happens in this one is a little spoiler-y, so I am going to say I enjoyed this, the characters, the appearance of one of my favorite characters who has been in other books…and I just appreciated the enjoyment of the story of this book.
I recommend this title.
