Never Far Away by Michael Koryta

She becomes a guide in the Allagash Wilderness in northern Maine. Ten years later, Doug dies in a car accident. Daughter Hailey, now 13, calls Nina’s pager, believing it’s the way to contact her aunt, Leah Trenton.

Leah comes for the children and takes them, and they start a new life in Maine. Word of Doug’s death reaches Corson Lowery, the man who thought he had paid to have her killed. He learns the children have been picked up and sends two new assassins to find her.

The plot and characters quickly pull us in and the characters. This is the first time I have read this author, and his skill at developing the story impressed me the most.
