4.0 out of 5 stars
Great read., December 24, 2005
This review is from: No Time to Hide (Mass Market Paperback)
Ben Tennant is a psychologist for the witness protection program. He decides if a person qualifies to enter the program. But every now and then, on the side, he helps out those who do not qualify. They call him the Laundry Man. He can wash away your past and give you a new start on life. This he did for the beautiful con artist Patrice Callan. In return, she betrayed Ben by stealing a file from his home that contains the names of all those he helped before her, as well as, their where-abouts.
Shortly thereafter, Emile Balazs, a big time crook involved with some dangerous Cubans, wants her found. With his resources and connections, Emile gets a few CIA people on his side. They will do anything to anyone in order to locate her and retrieve a small item she has. Of course, Ben does not help them. But he must find Patrice first. THEN he must convince her to trust him (after he finds out WHY she betrayed him in the first place). Once done, they are on the run, trusting no one, as they fight to stay one step ahead of their pursuers.
**** Patrice has an unexpected secret life. It took me totally by surprise. Be ready for a few twists and turns in this story that will keep up late into the night. Recommended. ****

an engaging thriller with compelling characters, February 7, 2006
This review is from: No Time to Hide (Mass Market Paperback)
No Time to Hide is responsible for my getting about four hours of sleep one Sunday night. The first few chapters did a great job of hooking me into the story -- with some early twists and betrayals. I couldn't put the book down until I followed the characters, Ben and Patrice, to the end of their journey. A strong debut, one that begs a sequel.

Great First Book, February 20, 2006
This review is from: No Time to Hide (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed reading Rob Palmer's new book. The characters and story line kept me interested, the women were strong and had survivor instincts. It is a great read,
Wishing Mr. Palmer much success!
