What Doesn't Kill You



WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU by Iris Johanesn

We were all introduced to this main character Catherin Ling in the Eve Duncan novels by author Iris Johansen. But here she has a book all of her own. CIA Agent Catherine Ling is thrown into danger and mayhem in this new book and only time will tell if she can survive this round of dangerous criminals.  This is a personal mission for Catherine, a very personal mission. Her friend and mentor Hu Chang is in deep trouble and Catherine has to find a way to rescue him. Hu Chang likes to delve into herbs and plants and discovers a formula that is much sought after not only by the CIA, but also by some very dangerous people who only want to use his formula to kill!  And they will do everything they can to make sure that they get it, including kidnapping Hu Chang! Now Catherine must do everything in her power to get Hu Chang out of this tangled web hi finds himself in.  Things get really complicated when Catherine's own son Luke, goes missing and is kidnapped. But where is Hu Chang and who has taken Luke?

Here comes John Gallo riding to the rescue! Most of us remember John Gallo as the father of Eve Duncans's daughter Bonnie. But as you know, whenever John and Catherine get together, sparks fly high!  I really enjoyed this novel as it takes us into the underworld in the streets of China.  As I was reading I found this a difficult book to put down.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Till next time!

Happy Reading!
