Jerome Prentice has never been a guy to back down and sure as hell today’s not going to be the day he becomes one…

He goes to bed thinking tomorrow will be a normal day at work.

Not going to happen.

When his wife Alicia is snatched from their bedroom, right before his very eyes, he knows he’s not going to stop hunting her kidnappers down until she’s back safely in his arms. And if they’ve hurt even one hair on her head, he will make them regret it, that’s for damn sure.

They want $50 million for her safe return. They say he can steal it from the company he works for. They think that he’ll do exactly what they want. But, boy, do they know nothing at all…

A brand new heart-stopping and jaw-dropping thriller, perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci and Mark Dawson.
