“A first-rate thriller.” —Shari Lapena, #1 bestselling author of She Didn’t See It Coming“With countless page-turning twists that take you from Toronto to Paris to São Paulo, you don’t so much read One Second Away as you do live it. Rick Mofina’s latest thriller is a roaring rollercoaster ride that will keep your heart pounding until the very end.” —Ashley Tate, #1 bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes“One Second Away by Rick Mofina is a pulse-pounding, relentless thriller that’ll leave you breathless. It’s full of high-octane tension, multiple twists, shady characters and the pitfalls of modern technology. Buckle up for one heck of a ride!” —Hannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of A Killer Motive”[An] intense and fantastic thriller. Mofina’s compelling and twisty narrative builds suspense while playing with reader expectations. He takes a great plot and adds the human element so we care about the characters and what’s happening on every gripping page. Everyone should be one second away from snapping this up and adding it to their reading pile.” —firstCLUE Reviews
