And then there’s the mystery of the two witnesses to the crash, who both gave suspiciously word perfect descriptions of what happened, and seem to have unusual changes of character afterwards. As the death toll rises, Raker flounders in the dark. Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know!
