Fifteen years ago, Claire O'Brien's mother and her lover were murdered. Her father was convicted of the crime. Now he has escaped from San Quentin and has contacted her. He tells her he is innocent and needs her to use her private investigator skills to prove it. FBI Agent Mitch Bianchi believes Tom O'Brien is innocent. Tom saved his life when other escapees tried to kill him. Mitch started digging into the past and sees big holes in the case. During his investigation, Mitch meets Claire and doesn't let her know he is a cop. As they grow closer, Mitch falls in love with her, but knows she will never believe his feelings are real after all of the lies he told her.

This is the third book in Brennan's Prison Break series. As with the last two books, the hero and heroine already know each other when the story starts. We flashback to many scenes from the past, including their first meeting. Since the actual book takes place over a matter of days, this allows the quick pace of the relationship to be believable.

I enjoyed this story. I tried to guess the identity of the villain based on the scenes from his point-of-view. But, I was way off base on this one. My rating: 4 Stars.
