Out of Control (Troubleshooter #4)

Out of Control is the fourth book in Suzanne Brockmann's Toubleshooters series.

Savannah von Hopf is going to Jakarta to deliver two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars to her uncle -in cash. But traveling with that amount of cash is not the safest plan. So first she heads to San Diego to try to convince Ken Karmody - Navy SEAL - to accompany her.

She has only met him a couple of time - in college when he was dating a classmate. But the first time she met him she knew he was the one for her. Before she can figure out a way to explain what she wants of him (without mentioning the woman who broke his heart) he asks her to dinner. By the time she gets around to the conversation that brought her to him, it is the next day. Ken is not pleased at what he sees as being tricked into helping her.

But when they get to Indonesia they have other things to worry about - like the group of men who grab them at the airport, rob them and plan on tossing them out of a helicopter.

Once again Brockmann has written a great novel that combines present day with the past. In this case, Savannah's grandmother who was a double agent for the OSS in WWII. This is a great way to learn about the past while enjoying an exciting story.
