Drawing on his experience as a journalist and crime writer, Rick Mofina delivers realism and hard-hitting action in his fourth highly-suspenseful thriller featuring gritty San Francisco crime reporter Tom Reed. San Francisco crime reporter Tom Reed is burnt out. The breaking story of a jewel heist gone violently awry--with the murder of a cop and the abduction of a female hostage--is one most journalists would kill for. Tom hopes it will be his last. But this time, there's more at stake than a Pulitzer Prize, because the woman taken by the two homicidal fugitives is Ann Reed--Tom's wife. And her capture wasn't random. . .it was personal. As a trail of carnage leads Tom on a desperate chase, time is running out for Ann. She's the bait in a trap set for her husband. . .and only one outcome will satisfy a twisted killer's lust for revenge!
