Dawson Scott is a well-respected journalist recently returned from Afghanistan. Haunted by everything he experienced, he's privately suffering from battle fatigue which is a threat to every aspect of his life. But then he gets a call from a source within the FBI. A new development has come to light in a story that began 40 years ago. It could be the BIG story of Dawson's career--one in which he has a vested interest.
Deadline is Ms. Brown's latest thriller. I have to say that I really liked this one. Dawson Scott is a journalist who suffers from PTSD as a result of being in Afghanistan. His editor wants him to do a story on blind balloonists, instead, he pursues an old cold case that his godfather never solved. A man is on trial for murdering his wife and her lover. The murdered man's DNA is a match to a child's blood found at the scene of the cold case. The murdered man's ex-wife, Amelia, intrigues Dawson so he decides to stay.
It's a convoluted story, but bare with it because it will keep you guessing. Just when I thought all of the secrets had been revealed, another surprise was thrown at me. I loved that about this book. The relationship between Dawson and Amelia was definitely intense and very believable. The other characters were a nice addition, especially the Amelia's sons. This isn't one you want to miss, so make sure to check it out!
