The Blue Zone has more twists and turns than a cork screw. When the father of a well to do family is arrested by the FBI it sets in motion many turn of events. Kate Rabb must sift through all she's been told by her father, the FBI and the agents of the Witness Protection Program to find out who is lying and where the truth lies. This is a top notch thriller by a first time solo author whose previous works was as a coauthor with James Patterson. ( )

Started of ok then just got really silly. ( )

Kate Rabb — not really who she thinks she is — Witness Protection Prog

Kate Raab's life seems almost perfect: her boyfriend, her job, her family . . . until her father runs into trouble with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his former accomplices in exchange for his family's placement in the Witness Protection Program. But one of them gets cold feet. In a flash, everything Kate can count on is gone.

Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her father has disappeared—into what the WITSEC agency calls "the blue zone"—and someone close to him is found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy, and her father's menacing "friends" circling with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father—and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.

Most of the book is compelling and fascinating. It was always, "ok-one more chapter and then I'll go to bed." I couldn't wait to find out how and why Ben Raab went into the Blue Zone-when the FBI has lost contact with a person in WITSEC, and what secrets Kate's mom was trying to tell Kate. The ending was unexpected, but slightly confusing. After turning the last page, I was still left wondering. It was a first solo effort so I can’t treat Mr. Gross too badly. I've read more of his books since and they are excellent. ( )
