Publisher's summary

FBI profiler Karen Vail returns in Velocity, national best-selling author Alan Jacobson’s most explosive thriller to date. Vail’s boyfriend, Detective Robby Hernandez, has seemingly disappeared into the dense air of a Napa Valley evening. There are no clues to his whereabouts, other than a blood stain - and potential connections to a serial killer operating in the wine country.

Despite using all means at her disposal to find out what happened to Robby, Vail’s efforts are thwarted until her colleague, Detective Paul Bledsoe, hooks her up with Hector DeSantos, a covert Defense Department operative who has a knack for finding difficult to locate information. But DeSantos is an unwilling partner, and other than offering superficial cooperation to pay back the debt he owes Bledsoe, he is reluctant to work his valuable informants for what he views as Vail’s personal crusade to find her lover.

That is, until Vail pries loose long-buried secrets, lies, and deceptions on the part of her own task force members. It’s information that even DeSantos can’t ignore, a discovery of great magnitude that reveals larger forces at play - forces which propel Vail and DeSantos into a frantic search that takes them from the wineries of Napa Valley to the monuments of Washington, D.C., the wealthy beach enclaves of San Diego, and the bright excesses of Las Vegas.

Karen has no respect

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the first two books but the way Karen disrespects her chain of command in this book goes too far. This may be my military background but, this book was hard to finish.

Let No Good Deed Go Unpunished

I like this narrator and went looking for more of her reads. Ms Deanna is excellent in this book.This author is good for me as it is about the journey not just finding out the ending. All the characters have game. This has multiple mysteries within this adventure. I like our heroine, hence my title. The author may not have the best gift for, as Reviewer Shelly and Wayne sometimes say, can stand alone in the series but best if read in order. Some of the negative reviews just turn me off as those opinion have no measurable reason, they just seem to be negative for the sake of being negative. I will check out more of this series by narrator.
Were my comments of help?

I liked the characters and story line

The ending was a bit drawn out. The narrator had some trouble with the male voices. But overall I will listen to the whole series.
