Dead Heat by Susan Sleeman is the fourth book in her Truth Seekers series. FBI Agent Piper Nash is on the trail of a hacker who is blackmailing her victims. Nick Thorn, who works for the Veritas Center’s cybercrime unit, is hired by the hospital to find the same hacker. Working together they run into more than they bargained for. The target on Piper’s back is growing daily. Will Nick be able to protect her from the deadly assassin who wants her dead? Wow, what a ride! Ms. Sleeman has a way of drawing you into the story on the first page and not letting you go until you turn that last page. The suspense was very real and intense in this story. The romance was very fast-paced but believable. All the characters blended well with each other. I’m not a very technical person. So, I learn something every time I read one of Susan’s books. She takes all the technical terms, gadgets and gizmos used by law enforcement and weaves them into the story without making it sound like a user’s manual. The ending was a plot twist that you didn’t see coming. I can’t wait for the next book.
I received this e-book from the author for my honest review.
