review 1: The book started off really well and maintained its pace throughout. The book tells the story of Lisa Palmer witnessing a heist and four murders and what happens subsequently. The book also features Jack Ganon, the journalist, trying to reach the truth about the heist.While the book was pacy, interesting and written nicely, at the end, I felt that the author was in a hurry to end the book. The climax could have been a bit more elaborate. It was almost predictable.
review 2: Lisa Palmer’s fragile world, a precarious life that revolves around caring for her two young children a year after the death of her husband, explodes in violence when she witnesses a murderous holdup. Four masked motorcyclists ambush an armored car and callously kill the three guards and a... moren off-duty FBI agent who tries to stop them. Lisa is a key witness to the killings, but can the FBI keep her and her family safe from the killers?For Frank Morrow, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, catching the killers of a fellow agent is not just a high priority, it’s the only priority…and it’s personal. Frank carries a secret, kept from his colleagues and his family.The press is onto the story as well. Every news organization in town wants to be first in breaking news about the bold robbery and subsequent manhunt that has captured the nation’s attention. Veteran reporter Jack Gannon knows his job is on the line in a new world of cost cutting and bottom line driven news. Gannon has to struggle between honoring the ethics of his profession and doing what it takes to scoop the competition.And what of the robbers? The military precision of the holdup and their getaway suggests they are not run of the mill hoods. As the story progresses, we learn what is driving their desperate actions and follow them as they make their escape and lay plans for another daring heist.“The Burning Edge” careens like a getaway car squealing on all four wheels with guns blazing from New York to Canada, across the US to the west coast and back again, taking the reader on a wild and exhilarating ride to a satisfying conclusion.Reviewed by Andrew MacRae for Suspense Magazine less
