Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 06 6, 2013
Trisha Robinson was rookie cop on her first training ride when she and her partner are called to investigate a routine prowler report. They stumble into a hostage situation with her partner being killed and herself locked in the truck of a car that was dumped into a lake. Managing to escape from the car is just the beginning of Robinson's ordeal. She is able to help Ally, one of the hostages escape and together they begin an ordeal of escape, capture and flight from their captives.From that point on the story is one event after the other; physical and mental tasks that just don't  end. There are too many ordeals, too many death defying escapes and experiences. There are near drownings, spelunking experiences, wilderness adventures,  killings, recaptures and recalls of childhood traumas. So many that you lose track of the original story and you just become tired of the multitude of improbable eventsHowever, the epilogue made it clear. This book was an earlier work, written under a pseudonym of Brian Harper. That provided an insight into the stark difference in writing styles between  this book and other works of Mr. Prescott. I am relieved.
