Alice in Jeopardy Audiobook

Since her husband Eddie's death in a boating accident eight months ago, Alice Glendenning has struggled to make ends meet while waiting for the insurance company to pay up. When Alice takes a job as a real estate agent, she makes a new friend, Charlie Hobbs from whom she is supposed to try to buy his waterfront land for a developer. Things quickly become a nightmare for Alice when her two children, Ashley and Jamie, aren't on the school bus home one day, and she gets a phone call from a woman claiming to have them. When the kidnapper calls again and asks for a ransom identical to the amount Alice is due from the insurance agency after Eddie's accident, Alice forgoes contacting the police and instead calls Charlie for help. But soon enough Alice wonders whether anyone can be trusted in her fight for everything she holds dear.

“McBain has been writing crime fiction through five decades. He’s always very good, usually excellent, and occasionally transcendent. If this were his first novel, we’d anoint him the next great crime novelist of the new century. But since we have more than fifty years of great work on which to judge him, we’ll say instead that he’s still at the top of his game.”
