Kate Bridge witnessed a notorious assassin kill one of her friends. An FBI trap to catch him at her fake funeral goes wrong and she almost dies. Unwilling to risk her family until the assassin has been apprehended Kate goes on the run, living under the radar.
Murphy Dolan has been invalided out of the Army Reserves after a wrong call leaves much of his troop dead or injured. Murph can't even go back to his old job as a policeman until he can pass the fitness test. The last thing he needs is to find a strange woman is subletting his house from his loser brother.
Murphy soon notices some strange happenings, a dark sedan idles just down the street for too long, his possessions have been searched - is it Kate? For her own part Kate can't work out if Murphy is delusional or if the assassin has found her. Can they trust each other to out the assassin?
I liked this, whilst Kate occasionally acted stupidly it was understandable in the context of not knowing or trusting Murphy, especially since he seemed to be in denial about his PTSD. The identity of the assassin trying to kill Kate was also a good piece of misdirection - it could have been any number of people, all of whom I suspected at one time or another.
