I received this book compliments of Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for my honhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifest review and once again, loved it. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting and was completely held captive to his writing style. Feeling like I was a partner along with Marc, we attempted to unlock whatever clues were necessary to find Alex Baird alive and find out just why people wanted to keep his abduction a secret, even those within our own government. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars and can't wait to read more by Davis Bunn.
Here's even more great information about the book, the author and even a sneak peek into the opening chapter by visiting his website here.
