The Blue Zone
Andrew Gross
HarperCollins e-books
February 1, 2009

The Witness Protection Program manual describes three stages of government involvement. The Red Zone-when a subject is in custody. The Green Zone-when a subject is in a safe location. And the Blue Zone-when a subject is unaccounted for and there is no knowledge of whether that person is dead or alive… Kate Raab believes she has everything-a close family, a great first job after college, and a boyfriend who loves her. Then one day she gets news that changes her life: the FBI has arrested her father for involvement in a money laundering scam. He is offered a deal: a place in the Witness Protection Program for his wife and three children if he will testify against his colleagues. Everyone agrees. But in a moment that stuns them all, Kate decides to stay behind, to hold fast to the independence she’s just beginning to enjoy. Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened. Kate’s father suddenly disappears--into what the WITSEC agency calls ‘the blue zone’--and someone very important to him is found brutally murdered. As Kate digs into her father’s life, the shocking truth she finds sets in motion a decades-old vendetta. With her family under constant watch, with the FBI untrustworthy, and her father’s menacing “friends” circling her with increasing intensity, Kate alone must set off to find her missing father--and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried...
