I quite enjoyed Swain's first 2 books in this series, but this one was so disjiointed and farfetched that I have to stop. Daniels continues to be annoying and hard to root for, while Lancaster is revered as a hero by nearly everyone outside of law enforcement. The entire plot depends on the conspiracy surrounding the death of Daniels' father, but we rarely get to see her processing grief or anything that would expand her character beyond the stereotypical female FBI agent. Not to mention that the entirety of the plot could've been prevented if they'd gone about this investigation carefully. So many of the plot points came from oversights on the characters' parts.
