Format:Paperback
A good thriller with lots of interwoven twists and turns all the way through. As has already been mentioned by other reviewers, I did find some of the characters a bit wooden or even unlikeable in the very beginning but as I read on, this definitely changed for the better. Most notably with Grace's mother, Elizabeth Brice. The other main characters who kept me going i.e. Grace, her father, John and grandfather, Ben are also brilliant.
This is an enjoyable read, maybe some parts are a bit unfeasible but I think this only lent to the enjoyment and suspense of the story.
Well worth a read..

This is a thoroughly enjoyable read,the short chapters at the start move it quickly,and you feel as though you get into the book very easily.The characters are brought together well and you are able to understand who is who right from the start.It starts off as an abduction of a ten year old and as her father is just about to become a multi billionaire the thought is this is all about money, but not so, as that would curtail the book to a very short story. The grand father is a vietnam war veteran and is very high profile all through out the book. There is a chapter at the start giving an insight into the vietnam side of the story and again further on ,which i found a little too much as it is established early enough who is involved in the vietnam side of things. The story has a good surprising and unexpected twist to give a satisfactory ending. The author has you thinking that the girl has been abducted by someone who seems slightly loony tunes and weird, and the girl is bright enough to know she has to leave clues as best she can.The mothers involvement turns out to be much more than first thought and I completely missed what is probably so obvious to another reader that an ordeal she went through, only told later in the story, had events that changed her life but that she kept to herself,but turned out to give leverage to the abductors plans. The father,who is more a computer geek than adventurer and seemed to live quietly in the back ground has been living all his life with the feeling of being a let down to his father; is by the end a surprise to himself realises he has just as much backbone than the rest of them. This is a great book and story,easy to read and get into, all characters are totally believable. I would without hesitation recommend this book and myself will definitely read more of this authors work.

A stale unrealistic read
I love legal thrillers so I thought that after Grisham and William Lashner I could try this lawyer. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an utter disappointment. Read more

What a joke
Really surprised that there are so many great reviews for this book. As far as I am concerned it is absolutely ludicrous. Read more

Another excellent one-off
It's a shame Gimenez doesn't create a hero or heroine, his books are really without fault as "good reads" and leave you wishing for a sequel...as always, a great twist at the end

Grisham with added humour
For fans of John Grisham, and especially his earlier (dare I say his best....?) works, Mark Gimenez will be an easy transition to make; well structured plots, interesting... Read more

Excellent
Full of twists and turns and plenty of characters and flashbacks but never loose touch with any. The Vietnam War is a good base. Really enjoyed this book.

Clearly a page turner
Mark Gimenez clearly has his own style, he manages to take the legal novel to a different level.

Entertaining read - do not be put off by the cover
I had this book sitting by my bed for several weeks looking at the cover image and thinking it was going to be some morbid, depressing story that would be another episode of misery... Read more
