What makes this series stand out from Rebecca’s other action series, is that the people of Requisition Force are cobbled together from misfits from FBI, Police, Homeland, etc. Each of them has either quit their jobs or have been put on personal leave and most have issues. I mean, even the dog has issues. It is going to be some fun while it all unfolds.
In Hidden, it is not just dumb luck that ex-undercover officer Malcolm West found the perfect house away from everything. Angus Force is putting together a team whose main goal is to catch a serial killer who is supposed to already be dead, and also to solve cases none of the other bureaus will investigate. Right now, Angus wants Mal keeping an eye on his next door neighbor. Pippa Smith isn’t a shut in nor is she part of the witness protection program, but she doesn’t go out much and if she does she avoids being noticed at all costs.
Pippa Smith escaped from a cult about seven years ago, but the cult leader was fixated on her. He has been looking for her ever since. He believes he is part of great plan given to him from God for bringing hellfire down on the unworthy–or he is a real crackpot. It doesn’t matter because whatever the reason, he is clever, charismatic and very, very dangerous. And he had intended Pippa to be his wife and stand by his side in his glory.
Requisition Force knows about the cult, but they aren’t sure if Pippa has been sent out as a scout to begin preparations for their terrorist attack so they want Max to get close to her and use his undercover skills to infultrate the cult.
Mal left the force when the pressure of undercover work became too much and his last mission went sour. Now he will be burning the candle at both ends between Pippa and the cult. Can he keep both of his roles separate or will the whole thing blow up in his face before he can get the information that he needs?
I am looking forward to getting more of the back story on each of these very interesting characters and seeing where it all goes.
Received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
