Recensione:
"McBain might be nearly 80, but he's right at the top of the premier league of crime fiction." (DAILY MIRROR, 25 Feb)
"A gripping thriller." (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH, 26 Feb)
"McBain's snappy dialogue and touches of humour show that he is still a master storyteller." (Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 27 March)
"McBain writes with the style, the strength and the freshness of someone half his age... he provides a tense and gripping tale, packed with twists and turns, and leading to an unexpected ending." (THE GLASGOW HERALD, 23 April)
"A follow-through thriller, plotted by a master, with three or four storylines -- comic and menacing -- which twine on to an ending which snaps like a rat trap. Evidence, should you need it, that McBain remains brilliantly on form. What a talent! What a man!" (Philip Oakes LITERARY REVIEW, June 2005)
"A sly teaser set in the Florida Keys that keeps the reader guessing as well as on the edge of the seat. McBain throws in switchback plot twists and false leads like the consummate pro he is... a terrific page-turner." (TRIBUNE, 13 May)

Since her husband Eddie's tragic death in a boating accident eight months ago, thirty-four-year-old Alice Glendenning has struggled to maintain a normal life for her two children, Ashley and Jamie. To help make ends meet while she waits for the insurance company to pay up, Alice takes a job as a real estate agent. The commissions have been nonexistent, but she does make a new friend, Charlie Hobbs, when she is sent in to try to buy his waterfront land for a developer.Things have been tough for Alice, but they quickly become a nightmare when Ashley and Jamie don't come home on the school bus one day, and Alice gets a phone call from a woman claiming to have her children. When the kidnapper calls again and asks for a ransom identical to the amount Alice is due from the insurance agency for Eddie's accident, Alice forgoes contacting the police and instead calls Charlie for help. But as all sorts of people scheme to get their hands on her money, Alice wonders whether anyone can be trusted in her fight for everything she holds dear.
