About this ebook
The FBI profiler teams up with Scotland Yard in this “outstanding thriller” by the USA Today–bestselling author of The 7th Victim (Library Journal, starred review).
When a potent firebomb destroys part of an art gallery in an exclusive London district, FBI profiler Karen Vail is dispatched to England to work with Scotland Yard on drafting a threat assessment to head off future attacks. But Vail soon discovers that at the heart of the bombing lies a four-hundred-forty-year-old manuscript that holds clues to England’s past—with dramatic political and social implications. The manuscript’s content is so explosive that a group of political radicals is bent on destroying it at all costs.
Or is it the work of someone else? The trail leads Vail to a notorious fugitive who has escaped law enforcement for decades, and who appears to be planning a major attack on London and the United States. When Hector DeSantos, banished from the US Department of Defense and now a rogue covert operative, turns up in England and takes actions that threaten Vail’s life, she finds herself on the run from the British security service, Scotland Yard, and a group of internationally trained assassins—all determined to silence her . . . all tightening the net to ensure that she’s got no way out.
With his trademark spirited dialogue, page-turning scenes, and well-drawn characters, national bestselling author Alan Jacobson (“My kind of writer,” says Michael Connelly) has once again crafted an intelligent, twisting thriller destined to be talked about long after the last page has been turned.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It took me a while to get into this book as it's not a typical Karen Vail serial killer thriller. Two themes run through the book which I usually am not interested in reading; first a conspiracy theory and secondly terrorists. Karen is sent off to England for consultation but quickly finds herself being told of a stolen manuscript and the reason? one of the many who really wrote the Shakespeare plays conspiracy theories. This part bored me to tears but Karen's sarcastic personality and annoyance with British parlance kept me going. The plot quickly turns to terrorists, arms dealers, Arab terrorist cells and black ops with Karen in the middle of it all. I'm not into terrorist plots or political thrillers so was slow to warm up to the book. But have to admit that once the chase starts I got caught up in the action. Hector DeSantos, a black ops agent returns from a previous book and the relationship between he and Vail is dynamic and full of witty repartee. The book's an adrenaline rush with Vail and the black ops team either chasing or being chased non-stop with practically no moments to come up for air. I prefer serial killer thrillers so this is not my favourite book in the series, but it did hold my attention after the slow start. Jacobson is a good storyteller and I look forward to the next book, just hoping Karen gets back to profiling a killer.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5No Way Out is the latest in the Karen Vail series. Karen is out of her usual serial killer profiling arena,and deep in black ops and terrorists with DeSantos. The two characters, though different in their approach, are after the same goal...stop a ricin attack in the UK. I liked the interaction between the two main characters and the complexity of,trying to operate without official sanctions. Another good addition to the Karen Vail series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5FBI profiler Karen Vail is in Madrid teaching other crime fighters her techniques of using profiling to capture criminals. But wait... there is a bomb explosion in London and it looks like it could be the work of terrorists. So she leaves the continent for England to help Scotland Yard capture a potential serial bomber. Or is it a Shakespeare conspiracy? Or a much larger threat to the lives of people all over the world?With all these plot twists, this book sounds crazy and a bit confusing, but go with it, because you'll love where this book takes you. Definitely well researched and very very enjoyable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Exciting and full of twists and turns. I actually think Karen Vail was a more relatable in this book than in previous books. What does the US do when they think a wanted terrorist Is planning attacks on British soil? Read and find out.
