Reviews

For PANIC: 'PANIC is a ride down the roaring rapids. Jeff Abbott has put together a hell of a page turner' Michael Connelly ** 'PANIC is Jeff Abbott's best yet ... an instant classic' Lee Child ** 'Abbott has fashioned another burst of white-knuckled suspense that's extremely hard to put down' Publishers Weekly ** 'Thrilling and relentless' Time Out New York

Miles Kendrick is in the Witness Protection Program following his testimony against a Florida mob family. In the final confrontation with gang members, Miles accidentally kills his friend Andy, and now Andy's spirit haunts him in his new life in Santa Fe, NM. When he learns of an experimental drug called "frost" that could cure him of his posttraumatic stress disorder, Miles also finds that this knowledge could cost him his life. Along with fellow PTSD-sufferers Celeste (a reality-show winner who witnessed a brutal murder) and Nathan (an Iraqi war veteran), Miles embarks on a complex, bloody journey that takes him from New Mexico to California. Is frost a miracle drug or a flawed product that kills those who take it? Will Miles and his allies be able to defeat the never-ending series of villains willing to kill to keep their secrets? Abbott's dialog is sometimes overwrought, and the tale could lose a character or two, but L.J. Ganser skillfully carries listeners through all of the twists and turns of this suspenseful story. Recommended for medium and large public libraries.-Joseph L. Carlson, Allan Hancock Coll., Lompoc, CA Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
