For readers of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and James Patterson: A Lucy Guardino FBI Thriller #3 Lucy's back! In a story ripped from the headlines, the violence is the worst she's ever seen, the stakes are higher than ever, and then...things get personal. It's a vicious, horrific crime: the brutal killing of a teenaged girl. When Pittsburgh detectives call FBI Supervisory Special Agent Lucy Guardino to the scene, their focus is on who and why? Was it the girl's Afghan father striving to regain his honor after she became too Westernized? Her Jewish boyfriend? Someone from Afghanistan settling an old grudge? Or one of the many drug cartels the father helped the DEA bring down seeking revenge? Former Marine Sergeant Andre Stone has been home a month, but he has yet to leave the safe haven of his grandmother's house--other than to go to his appointments at the VA's burn clinic. Andre's disfiguring physical scars are the least of his worries. The emotional wounds of seeing his men massacred in a DEA raid gone horribly wrong have left him a walking dead man, numb to anything. All he can think about is revenge. On Rashid Raziq, the man behind the raid. When Andre is offered a chance at vengeance, the only question left is: How far will he go to get it? The answers seem clear when Pittsburgh becomes engulfed in flames as a violent narcoterrorist turns the city into a kill zone...But in the dark of night, surrounded by men intent on destroying the truth, Lucy and Andre both learn that secrets hide in shadows.

Kill Zone by CJ Lyons is the 3rd book in the Lucy Giardino FBI Thriller series. The novel is more action-packed gunplay than mystery or police procedural. Postal Inspector Jenna Galloway returns and plays a big role while the other supporting characters are given equal billing making the story less centered on Lucy than in the previous two books.
Three interwoven storylines feature a brutal murder of children, Afghanistan, Gangbangers and the Mexican drug cartel, all of which play a role in shutting down Philadelphia. Oh, and Morgan Ames, the sociopathic daughter of a serial killer we met in book 2 of the series figures large as well.
Kill Zone was a fast read for me. Lyons has a lot of threads going on at once and in all the back and forth the book lost a bit of continuity. While I enjoyed the first two books more that this one, the author certainly knows how to keep you turning pages. Perhaps not her best work but still entertaining. (
