Virtually anything by Greg Iles is worth the time to read for me. This one is no exception. While not up to the Penn Cage series, this one is still a page turner and also not as long as some of his other novels. Well worth your time. A good, solid thriller

The suspense was good, but I found the resolution to be completely unbelievable.
Good suspense story that kept you guessing till the end.

Joe Hickey is a man with a plan... the perfect plan. He, along with his wife and cousin, kidnap the child of an unsuspecting doctor. His cousin keeps the daughter, he watches over the helpless wife, and his wife keeps an eye on the doctor who is away from the family at a medical conference. Hickey's intricate plan allows the three of them to walk away scott free and $200,000 richer. How does he know it's the perfect plan, because they've executed it five times before and now they're going for broke by kidnapping the young daughter of an anesthesiologist named Will Jennings. Now Jennings and his wife Karen have 24 hours in which to get their daughter out of harm's way. But, will Hickey stick to the plan this time? Iles throws a very detailed and well-thought out thriller that takes every parent's worst nightmare and intensifies it 100 fold. His writing is highly intelligent and well researched (in terms of Jennings' profession), but without being too technical for the lay reader to understand easily.
