A School Girl vanishes off the Streets of New York, with only a trail of Blood and untraceable Phone calls hinting at Her Fate.
Just so-so....not as exciting or surprising as I would have liked. Too many characters and not enough story for all of them. But, I did finish it to see how it turned out.
I will be looking for more of this authors books. Kept me intrigued all the way thru the book.
Story is about a NYP Dectective whose daughter disappears. The clues lead them to believe its the same person the dectective was unable to find the firs time around.
Good premise for a story, but it would have been better if the kidnapper's identity had remained hidden longer. The hunt for the missing girl's and the great characters make the book a worthwhile read!
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Terrifying....keep the doors locked type of book.
GREAT READ,FINISH IT IN ONE DAY,CREEPY.
