KICK BACK

Second book in the electrifying series that started with the “edge-of-your-seat thriller,” One Kick (Booklist, starred review).

Three months following the events of One Kick, a secretive arms dealer named Bishop has come seeking Kick’s help to protect a teenage girl under a threat from the past.

Bishop believes the young woman is at risk of suffering the same fate as her mother, who disappeared as a teen before miraculously returning home twenty years later. At the time, many believed that there may be something supernatural involved in her mysterious disappearance. Could that be true? As Kick and Bishop join forces to search for clues in the girl’s Florida hometown, they realize there may be even darker—even criminal—secrets at play. Then a body is discovered and throws both women’s identities into question, and Kick and Bishop must combine their expertise to learn the truth.

With the heart-stopping suspense, psychological twists, and the atmospheric details readers love, Kick Back is Chelsea Cain at her best.
