Love the private series...poor Jack just wants to get home....happy he may have met someone he could take with him....nice quick read! ( )

good short story ( )

When kidnappers threaten to execute a member of the royal family in front of the queen, Jack Morgan and Peter Knight [from the London office of Private] find themselves with only twenty-four hours to solve the case. Can they find the kidnapped woman and keep the unthinkable from happening?

This BookShots tale draws on characters from the Private series to weave its pulse-pounding, action-packed tale. Characteristically short, as are all the books in this format, readers may guess the identity of the kidnapper before the final reveal, but getting there is good reading.

Recommended. ( )
