In The Dark is a story about Hannah and Luther, both of whom we "met" in the first book in this series. When that book left off, SEAL captain Gabe and his guys had figured out their commander had been trafficking stolen weapons and was the man behind Gabe's disappearance a year ago. Unfortunately, his commander had a lot of clout and was able to shine suspicion upon Gabe's mental condition, landing him in jail & his men fighting to find evidence that proves his innocence.

Hannah's partner was killed in the last book and she disappeared, after finding evidence that tied the commander to the trafficking. She was found alive in Cuba and imprisoned. She, along with the help from Luther and another SEAL, got her out alive and begin a journey of proving Gabe's innocence and the commander's guilt.

I found this book a lot more interesting than her first one. The characters were more believable and likeable. Hannah was a tough cookie but she didn't annoy me as much as Helen did in this first book. And Luther was just an all-around good guy that you just wanted to keep rooting for.

I still say Suzanne Brockmann's cast in her SEAL Team 16 series is far superior and exciting, but this book tugged at my heart and I'll definitely try another one of her books.
