5.0

I stayed up until 1:30 last night to finish this book. Again the suspense is high as the plot revolves around a kidnapping and a bomb in Grand Central Station in New York. The story focuses on the issue of the death penalty. Steve Peterson's wife was murdered while her young son Neil watched. A seventeen year old boy was accused and despite pleas of innocence he is set to die in the electric chair in days. Now Steve has a new love in his life Sharon, who opposes capital punishment. As a snow storm begins to rage Sharon and Neil are kidnapped and held in an isolated room at the station with a bomb ticking. Soon the race is on to see if Sharon, Neil, the innocent teen on death row and the busiest station in New York can be saved. Again the suspense and tension is cranked up to 100, as the bomb ticks down and the race is on to stop an evil plot. Again what a book. I stayed up way later than I should have but I have no regrets it was that good.
