Publisher Description

24 Hours begins with the perfect family. On the perfect day. About to become trapped in the perfect crime.

Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with his whole life ahead of him. He has a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a young daughter he loves beyond measure. But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught, and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life’s work strikes at the heart of every family’s nightmare: the unstoppable kidnapping.

But this man has never met Will and Karen Jennings.

"This book kept me on the edge of my seat and had me questioning what I would do to protect my family. This is also one of the few books I've read that had me feeling compassion for the bad guy. A truly wonderful book. Greag Iles is one of my favorite authors!"
