Right from the beginning this story captures your attention. Although the main character has a pretty sketchy past, he comes off with a decently likable persona. You can't help but jump right into the story. The author does a great job of not only introducing characters, but adequately creating a scenery in a way that perfectly describes the character's current situation.The story begins quite nonchalant with a man who is simply working in a rural area- not really keen on seeing much more of the world. But he gets a call from his relatives that changes virtually everything. The mother and father of his two year old neice have been beaten and his young family member has been abducted. This drastic change in the storyline takes him to the scene of the crime (a more civilized area) where he then embarks on the very suspenseful journey of rescuing neice.It's an amazing story that showcases the valuable bond of family- especially in times of crisis. You can't help but become enveloped in the man's emotions. His worry, fear, and determination to find his neice all capture your heart as deeply as they capture his. The author takes you to a level of intimacy with the main characters that few authors do. You don't feel like you're simply reading a book- but rather that you're involved in the storyline. You feel a part of it- perhaps as a bystandard, but still emotionally integrated into the work.I found the book extremely well written. It took a more serious approach. A vivid yet to-the-point style of writing. Not necessary poetic, but artistic in its own sense. I've recommended it to a few of my friends who love these 'family oriented crime thrillers' style books. They've all really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of suspense stories, but this one captured my interest and heald it to the end.
