Rick Mofina is another great author, like Baldacci in my opinion. Great pacing and suspense. Six Seconds is my favorite book of Mofina's so far. I look forward to reading more though.

looking for her son, and in Iraq, a woman, who lost her family in a brutal attack by Americans, saves the life of an American contractor.

Mofina takes the story from Canada to the Middle East to Italy to America and with various interesting characters, all finally looking for where the next terrorist attack will take place. A real page-turner.

Excellent book! Published in 2009 but so appropriate for today’s world. The Mom searching for her son and the Canadian Mountie searching for redemption combine with the very scary world of radical jihadists in an exciting thriller.
