FBI agent Parris "Perry" L’Engle has always had doubts about the automobile accident that took the life of Daniel Sands over two decades ago as some of the "facts" made no sense. Still there was noting she could prove otherwise. Now she overhears a voice she has never forgotten; the covert agent who tried to recruit Daniel the day before he died. In fact it seems like déjà vu as he is now trying to recruit her son, Danny, Daniel’s offspring.

Perry vows not this time. She follows this agent’s trail to Chicago where she runs into Network undercover operative Roan Emory, whom she knows as Daniel. She assumes he gave up on her and their love. Roan realizes he can "breath" for the first in a quarter of a century, but also knows that the Network that snatched him will only free him in death; their threat to keep him in line is his beloved Perry and the adult child he did not know he sired.

The fourth Incognito thriller, DROP DEAD, is an exhilarating tale that grips the audience from the opening déjà vu sequence until the final confrontation. The lead couple makes the tale as this is no second chance at love since the network stopped the first time and prepares to intervene again. Although Karen Wiesner’s latest book can stand alone as a terrific character driven action thriller, newcomers will want to read the previous saga (see NO ORDINARY LOVE, UNTIL DEATH DO US PART, and BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART) as these are some of the best novels around.
