Synopsis:

Live or die. Her or Moretti. The time is now.

The worst has happened: her mark is on the run. But Special Agent Lara Grant has no clues. No destination. Just fear for those she loves and bone-deep belief that he's coming straight for her. But she knows Moretti …just as he knows her. And when the final clue clicks into place, the hunt is on.

Lara will do anything it takes to catch this evil man who has caused the deaths of countless innocent people. With emotions on a knife edge, Lara is running on instinct, on the desperation of unconditional love. With adrenaline pumping, this is it for Lara…flight is not an option; all she can do is fight to the end…

Part 8 of 8 in the chilling, high-octane FBI thriller TOUGH JUSTICE from New York Times bestselling author Carla Cassidy and authors Tyler Anne Snell, Carol Ericson and Gail Barrett.

Review: 

The final installment of the Tough Justice series.  The ending was a bit predictable but it was still acceptable. I don't know if this team plan on writing any more about this character but I felt that there were some things left very open ended. 

Lara's mother was murdered her father was looked at for the crime but never convicted the case went cold.  While cleaning her dads house out she finds a gun in a trunk of her mothers but puts it back and we never hear about it again.  Could it have been the murder weapon? I was also a little disappointed with how they left the relationship with Lara and her partner Nick. And why didn't Nick ever reveal to Lara that he had lost a child? 

Other than these little things that continue to nag at me I thought overall the series was very good. The story moved well, there were just enough twists and turns to keep me interested and on my toes and the romance was a welcome distraction from the drama but didn't overwhelm the story.
