NEW RELEASE....
Even when someone is cloaked by a charming smile and friendly nature, Ivy Nash knows the scent of a predator. Half of her life has been filled with one horrific event after another. Which is why she started ECHO, dedicating her life to rid the world of those who prey on children.
But despite all of her life experiences, nothing can prepare her for the "fun house." A terror unlike any other. And that's when she must decide if clinging to life is worth the hell that she will pay.
"Rife with deceit and deception and characters that leap off the page, this story is told with confidence through a sure hand, engaging both the mind and the heart. A compelling treat." -- Steve Berry, New York Times Bestselling Author
"An intense and heart wrenching story that keeps you engaged from beginning to end." -- Simon Wood, USA TODAY Bestselling Author of DECEPTIVE PRACTICES.
"I love the way that Mefford writes, seamlessly jumping between characters and time frames with no confusion, and he is extremely descriptive of the setting . You almost feel like you are watching a movie instead of reading a book!" -- Hilary Mahoney, Elusive Red Tiger

Q: What do the Ivy Nash Thrillers have to do with the Redemption Thriller Series?
JWM: The Ivy Nash Thrillers comprise the second sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series. The Alex Troutt Thrillers are the first sub-series. While I'll eventually write a series that connects the major characters and plots from all the sub-series, you don't have to read the AT books prior to the IN books. But I have to say, the AT thrillers are darn good.
Q: So you're saying you don't have to read the Alex Troutt Thrillers before the Ivy Nash Thrillers?
JWM: Nope. While a few of the characters might occasionally overlap between the series, they can be read as stand-alone. And then I'll wrap everything up in a final set of six novels that connects all of the main characters and stories from each sub-series. If you haven't read any of the Alex Troutt thrillers yet, you can try out the first three at a pretty nice discount. Just search for Alex Troutt Box Set.
Q: Can you give some insight into how Ivy Nash might connect to Alex Troutt down the line?
JWM: Sure…and then I'll send over a hit squad. Seriously, I'll be sprinkling in a few clues along the way for those who pay close attention to the details, but it will all come together in that final six novels of the Redemption Thriller Series. And it will be explosive and gut-wrenching at the same time.
Q: How many different sub-series are you planning to have in the Redemption Thriller Series?
JWM: Right now, I see four sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series, with six novels in each. It's the most challenging and fulfilling creative endeavor I've undertaken. I hope you enjoy the journey.
My Review
Each new Mefford thriller is a roller-coaster ride through crime scene after crime scene as he weaves multi-stranded plots together at breakneck speed.
Ivy's back and this time her latest case involves the systematic dismantling of a family of young boys and their grandpa by kidnapping. At the same time, Cristina is acting solo and has even gone back to school to pursue her own case, but manages to end up in danger herself.
There's a great cast of nefarious characters, mostly all in disguise so that you never really know who is who nor what their motives are. One of these is a particularly nasty blogger who is gunning to bring Ivy and her friends down. She seems to have an inside scoop on exactly what's happening but how is she getting so close to Ivy?
And, whilst trying to find office space for her business ECHO, Ivy ends up in the greatest danger of all, finding herself in the clutches of a master criminal - but is Ivy herself actually a killer?
Mefford's writing is bubbling with energy as usual and the reader finds themselves racing to discover the truth - whilst hoping it won't be too late for Ivy Nash.
