“Lincoln Vailes is upside down and in over his head. After a haunting injury, this former Great Smoky Mountains park ranger becomes a police officer deep in Louisiana to be closer to his ailing father. The bayou town of Eternal Springs appears sleepy at first, but Vailes is soon dealing with hurricanes and an out-of-nowhere double homicide. Eager social worker Jade Laurent has also moved to Eternal Springs to try and right the wrongs of an abusive past. Her desire to help others doesn’t merit the sudden increase of guns being pointed in her direction and cars running her off the road. Thrown together by circumstances far more dangerous than they could imagine, Lincoln and Jade must figure out who is behind these deadly deeds before a killer catches them in his crosshairs.”–P.[4] of cover.

Summary
Overall I have recently become a fan of Robin Carroll and this was another great read even with my higher expectations she met them again. Lincoln moves to Louisiana
after his partner gets married and he is healing from knee surgery to be with his parents. His dad is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Jade has recently become a
social worker. Jade experiences some of the technicalities of being a social worker and the restrictions put on you. There is a secondary story line of a woman in an abusive situation and trying to work through the system. It is a tough read as you see her go back to her situation. An additional story line is Carlos who is the leader
of a gang and rethinking his role and purpose. On top of all this you have someone killing gang members and trying to harm Jade. The opening story will capture your attention and hold it throughout the book. Fear No Evil is full of action, suspense and romance without the profanity, sex and gratuitous violence.
Violence There is a flash bomb, a woman trying to escape an abusive husband, nothing gratuitous or disturbing.
