Giacomo Giammatteo has written another stellar thriller. The tight plot has so many twists and turns that putting this suspenseful book down just isn't an option! What starts out as a relatively straight-forward kidnapping becomes increasingly complex, as it becomes clear that the professionals behind the crime make no mistakes - or do they? Gino Cataldi, the detective in charge of this case, must see this through to the end despite his inner conflicts and fear of failure in order to save the girl as well as for his own personal redemption. Playing by the book when he can, but always following his conscience, Cataldi and his team race against the clock as the deadline for paying the ransom and saving a girl's life and honor accelerates to an unexpected conclusion. The excellent character development compels the reader to care about the players in this novel and sets the book well above average for books of this genre. Snappy and believable dialogue, an intelligent plot and a satisfying conclusion - this book really delivers! Definitely a 5-star read!
