O knihe

In this new thriller from the author of critically acclaimed The Yards, a cop tracks the kidnapped teenage daughter of a wealthy developer in a struggling American town. A new Nissan plant is coming to the town of Baxter, and Captain Delia Mariola has been busy cleaning up the crime-addled city ever since. But when the teenage daughter of the lead bidder on the construction project disappears, Delia realizes that the factory's influx of cash could bring an entirely new sort of danger. Though Elizabeth's abduction was well-planned, her captors could not have anticipated the teen's resourcefulness, and she somehow manages to get messages to those who love her. The only problem is that they might be too cryptic even for their recipients to decipher. If Delia has any hope of bringing the girl home unharmed, she'll have to crack the code. And unless she does it fast, there may be nobody left to save . . . Tough, thrilling, and filled with memorable characters, The Hostage is a gritty mystery for fans of Mare of Easttown, Emily Koch and John Grisham. Reviewers on A.F. Carter: 'A breathless suspenser that's also a painfully acute evocation of the wrong side of the tracks.' Kirkus 'Another impressive effort from Carter.' Publishers Weekly 'A riveting, must read tale of suspense, murder and retribution.' Reed Farrel Coleman
