Hot Target (Troubleshooters #8)

Hot Target is the eighth book in the Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann.

Movie producer Jane Mercedes Chadwick is getting death threats because she is making a WWII movie about two soldiers who fell in love on the battlefield. Though she is not taking the threats seriously, the studio is. The security specialists from Troubleshooters, Inc. and FBI agent Jules Cassidy are on the case.

As the danger escalates on the set of the movie the Troubleshooters are in a race to find the suspect before he can get to Jane - the same suspect being sought for killing a federal court judge.

Brockmann goes out on limb in this mystery/romance - reflecting actual life - and includes the love story of a gay character. Jules was introduced in a previous Troubleshooters book but plays a more prominent role in Hot Target. (His story continues in Forces of Nature.)

One again Suzanne Brockmann dispels the stereotype of the romance novel - her books are well written with an actual plot! If you are not a "romance" reader, give Brockmann a chance to change your mind.
