In this new page-turner from acclaimed suspense novelist John Gilstrap, a childless couple crosses paths with a lost boy -- and find themselves on the run from his deadly kidnappers.Bobby and Susan Martin want nothing more than to have a child of their own, the blessing that would make their marriage whole. Never did they dream that a restorative camping trip would change their lives forever -- when a tiny, filthy, freezing young boy dashes out of the woods near their campsite. The boy's violent kidnappers quickly come for him -- and in a chaotic, explosive moment, the Martins appear to be drawn into an unthinkable crime: the brutal murder of a police officer.Now Bobby, Susan, and the eerily quiet young boy must stay one step ahead of a vicious crime ring, and are unsure whether they can trust the police -- or if they were responsible for the death of one of their brethren. As the couple desperately plunges into the heart of danger to save themselves and the boy, deep emotions about their failed pregnancies come to the surface. Even if Bobby and Susan figure a way out of their spiraling circumstances, will they be able to surrender this child who has come into their lives and, in his own way, filled a painful chasm in their marriage?A galvanizing story of kinapping, murder, mystery and love, a page-turner that builds to a heart-stopping climax, John Gilstrap's gripping new novel enhances his reputation as one of the most ingenious and innovatiove of contemporary thriller writers. His works explore original territory, with characters that are refreshingly complex and aren't soon forgotten. Even Steven is a top-notch work of suspense fiction.… (plus d'informations)

This book clinches it. John Gilstrap is now, officially, one of my favorite authors. Bobby and Susan Martin are on a recovery camping trip. The baby they wanted for so long was stillborn and there is a lot of healing to do. Then, out of the night comes a filthy 3 year old boy, screaming and terrified. And behind him comes a man with a gun. Bobby wrestles the guy in a fight to save their lives and ends up killing him. The pocket of the dead man reveals he was a cop. And, that's in just the first 25 pages!! John Gilstrap now has three novels. Go get one now and read it. ( )

De spannendste 24 uur van hun leven zijn dan nog maar net begonnen... ( )
