As the title lets you know, this is a fast-moving thriller. My only real problem with it is that it's a direct sequel to the author's previous novel, Crush, which I haven't read. And I mean a direct sequel. The action picks up right where the previous novel ended, and it took me a while to get up to speed. After that, the story, though complex, is easy to follow, and it jets right along.Karen Vail and her FBI colleagues have just captured the Crush Killer, but all is not well. The killer is dead, killed by a cop, and Karen's boyfriend, Robby Hernandez, has disappeared. Worse, it seems likely that the cop, and maybe Robby, had ties to the killer. Karen gets right back into action, determined to find out what's going on, but she's suddenly called back to Quantico to work on another case. Vail gets a covert government guy named Hector DeSantos to look for Robby, and before long things get even more complicated, with drug kingpins and another serial killer. There's one surprise after another in this one, and just when I thought I knew where it was going, there was another unexpected twist.
If you're looking for a high-octane thriller full of high-tech details, interesting characters, and a plot that just won't quit, Velocity fills the bill.
