'Will and Karen Jennings are a successful young couple with every reason to celebrate. from modest beginnings they have built the life of their dreams with their five-year-old daughter whom they love beyond measure.
But now, they have been targeted by John Hickey, a genius who has found the key to one of the oldest crimes in the world. Kidnapping. Hickey has turned the crime inside out, creating an unbreakable knot of technology and terror. Five times he has executed his plan, and not once has he been caught. He seems unstoppable - and somehow untouchable.
This time, however, Hickey wants more than money. This time he is driven by the pain of his own family tragedy, a tragedy that he lays at the door of Will Jennings. But he has reckoned on every factor but one: Will, Karen, and Abby Jennings share a bond that only the closest families know, and from it grows a formidable will. Each is strengthened to fight their indiviual battles by that link and race against the clock to thwart the madman who threatens their family, and to reunite at last. They have 24 hours to survive...'

A good thriller, according to the front of the book this has been made into a film with Kevin Bacon yum. May have to look it up.

7 out of 10

This was a pretty good story. There were a few places that were a bit repetitive, but mostly it moved at a good pace. The entire novel takes place in 24 of a family whose young daughter has been kidnapped. The resourcefulness and ability to think on the fly of the parents was quite amazing. The book has been made into a movie "Trapped" starring Kevin Bacon and Courtney Love. I haven't seen the movie yet, but would be interested to see how it compares to the book. I do have to say that book did have some violence, a little more than I expected, but still a good thriller.

Read as part of the New Authors Read & Release challenge and the Set It Yourself #13 reading challenge.
