What Happened to the Bennetts
From #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline comes a pulse-pounding new novel.
Your family has been attacked, never again to be the same.
Now you have to choose between law…and justice.
Jason Bennett is a suburban dad who owns a court-reporting business, but one night, his life takes a horrific turn. He is driving his family home after his daughter’s field hockey game when a pickup truck begins tailgating them, on a dark stretch of road. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever.
Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The agents tell them that the carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization—and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs.
The agents advise the Bennetts to enter the witness protection program right away, and they have no choice but to agree. But WITSEC was designed to protect criminal informants, not law-abiding families. Taken from all they know, trapped in an unfamiliar life, the Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.
Sometimes justice is a one-man show.
Reviews
Could hardly put this book down. I knew as I raced towards the end I would miss the Bennetts, and I do. Suspenseful and touching. Having lost my only child I appreciated how well the emotions were described. A wonderful, exciting, heartfelt read.

First few chapters were compelling then boom, ugh. Contrived and sluggish. Couldn’t finish.

Full of unexpected twists and turns, almost to the point I didn’t know what was going on, who were the good guys and who were the bad guys but the author has such a easy style of writing any questions where answered. The characters were complex. Interestingly told in first person from the males POV. His growth in the story was believable and heartfelt. Always love Lisa’s books

Held my attention and was a twisty ride! True to Lisa’s form, had the right mix of grit, suspense, twists, turns, mayhem and closure. About to fill my library with more Scottoline reads.
