About this ebook

In this New York Times bestselling thriller, a doctor is kidnapped in the mountain wilderness after a fight with her husband -- and as the FBI closes in, she must make dangerous choices to survive.Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina minutes after an argument with her husband Jeff. But by the time he reports her missing, the trail has (literally) gone cold. Fog and ice encapsulate the wilderness and freeze the search. While police suspect Jeff of "instant divorce," Emory regains consciousness only to find herself the captive of a man whose violent past is so dark he won't even tell her his name. She's willing to take any risks necessary to survive. But before she can escape, the two encounter dangerous people who adhere to their own code of justice. A desperate young woman is caught at the center of a dispute, and Emory can't bring herself to look the other way, even if it means breaking the law. Rising tension and barely restrained passion blurs the lines between right and wrong, and Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is the one who has rescued her from death . . . and from heartbreak. Combining the nail-biting suspense and potent storytelling that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best-loved authors, Mean Streak is a wildly compelling novel about love, deceit, and the choices we must make when our lives are on the line.

Ratings and reviews

This may sound crazy as it already is. But i had bought this book actually at a grocery store while picking up dinner once i got off from work, and I got to say its a mystery. Each and ever page you turn after reading it, as you hooked to the point you dont want to put the book down. I higly recommend thus book and it happens to be my favorite. :)

The beginning of this story was pretty interesting so that's the only reason I gave it 2 stars. The later half of this book is utter garbage. It becomes absurdly clear that this book was written by a woman for women who fantasize about whisked away by some handsome stranger. All reality and plausibility be damned. I paid full price for this at an airport book store and I feel the author owes me atleast half of that back.

I love everything Sandra Brown writes but this was by far my favorite. Throw predictability out the window, this one is chalked full of surprises. Enjoy!
