Fair Game by Josh Lanyon
Nov. 17th, 2010 02:19 am
Elliot Mills is working as a college professor after a crippling knee injury forced him to retire from the FBI. While Elliot has done his best to put his former life behind him, his former life may not be quite done with him when a student goes missing from campus.
Elliot agrees to look into the disappearance as a favor for his father, who is friends with the young man's parents. His looking around brings him into contact with Tucker Lance - the FBI special agent handling the case and Elliot's former lover.
Things did not end on the best of notes between them and neither one of them is the type to back down. As the investigation begins to look less like a missing persons case and, likely, more ominous, the two men must figure out how to go beyond the past and work together. For, as it looks like there are more disappearances, Elliot is targeted by the killer.
Fair Game made for a good, suspenseful read for me and set a good pace. Having read Mr. Lanyon's works before, this was not entirely unexpected.
What really made the book work for me was a combination of the college campus setting, the characters and how they had to work through their differences (and not just Elliot and Tucker), and the twist in who the killer was. The last was especially intriguing in that it is and isn't entirely who you would expect and I like that.
Look forward to future reads from Mr. Lanyon.
