I came accross Robert Crais's books about 1 year ago. Since then I have read 9 of his Elvis Cole books, Demolition Angel and now Hostage. I have to say all of them have been a pleasure to read. And Hostage is one, if not his best.
Its so good a book that they have now made a movie from it, with Bruce Willis playing the part of Jeff Talley, ex hostage negotiator and SWAT, who due to stress and a failed negotiation has moved from highly charged LA to be a small town police Chief.
But a robbery starts a landslide of events that keep you turning page after page after page.
Absolutely rivetting. If you havent read a Crais book then this is a great book to make you a fan. But be warned once you start it you will not put it down. Brilliant characterisation, dialogue and plot.

I must admit I wasn't sure about bying this book as it didn't feature Elvis Cole, who stars in all the other Crais books that I have read.
No need to worry - this is a fantastic read and your heart goes to police chief Talley as he tries to stop his world from falling apart.

Another good, well plotted and suspenseful book. This has you gripped from beginning to end. A simple store robbery goes wrong and turns into a seige. No one knows what is at risk until the story unfolds and outside elements begin to intrude.
I won't give more away but recommend this to everyone who likes well written thrillers.
