Publisher’s Description:

Kerra Bailey is a television journalist on the rise, and she’s hot on the trail of a story guaranteed to skyrocket her career to even greater heights: an interview with the legendary Major Trapper. Twenty-five years ago, The Major emerged a hero from the bombing of the Pegasus Hotel in downtown Dallas when he was photographed leading a handful of survivors out of the collapsing building. The iconic picture transformed him into a beloved national icon, in constant demand for speeches and interviews–until he suddenly dropped out of the public eye, shunning all members of the media. However, Kerra is willing to use any means necessary to get to The Major–even if she has to wrangle an introduction from his estranged son, former ATF agent John Trapper.

Still seething over his break with both the ATF and his father, John Trapper wants no association with the hotel bombing or his hero father, and spurns the meddling reporters determined to drag them back into the limelight. Yet Kerra’s sheer audacity and tantalizing hints that there’s more to the story rouse Trapper’s interest despite himself. And when her interview of a lifetime goes catastrophically awry–with unknown assailants targeting not only The Major, but also Kerra–Trapper realizes he needs her under wraps if he’s going to track down the gunmen before they strike again . . . as well as discover, finally, who was responsible for the Pegasus bombing.

Kerra is wary of a man so charming one moment and dangerous the next, and she knows Trapper is withholding evidence collected during his ATF investigation into the bombing. But having no one else to trust and enemies lurking closer than they know, Kerra and Trapper join forces and risk their very lives to expose a sinuous network of lies and conspiracy running deep through Texas–and uncover who would want a national hero dead.

My Review:

Seeing RedSeeing Red by Sandra Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an excellent suspense/thriller. All the twists and breadcrumbs, and most of all the catch 22 of the people involved and their reasons for involvement. Kerra is a TV journalist falling for former ATF agent John Trapper, whose father, Major Trapper, was Kerra’s childhood hero when she happened to be inside a hotel that got bombed. Now, all these years later, it seems someone is trying to finish what they started when an assassination attempt is made on Major Trapper when Kerra happens to be in his home, having just finished an interview. She narrowly escapes with her own life, sparking an investigation that many people have gone to great lengths to keep buried for a long, long time.

Lots of action, betrayal, danger, and yes, even romance. I look forward to reading more from this author.
