"I thought this book was fast paced and actually plausible. I've enjoyed all of Mofina's books so far. Wish his earlier books were ereads! I also thought he did develop the characters of Jeff, Sarah, and even the little boy, Cole ( unlike other reviewers felt)."
— Oma (5 out of 5 stars)

“Mofina is one of the best thriller writers in the business, and Jeff's painful journey of trying to reunite his family will resonate with readers. The characters ring true, and the payoff is both emotional and shocking.”

" I enjoyed this fast-paced thriller. Even though I knew everything would work out, it still kept me involved. Not something I would pick up everyday, it hit the spot. Page turner. "
— Robin, 12/26/2013 -
" Would have liked better character development. It seemed that Mofina started to define some secondary characters, then gave up after a sentence or two. A predictable book, but a quick and easy read. "
— Patti, 7/11/2013 -
" This was an awesome book. I really enjoyed it. I want to read all his books now. A new author for me but not disappointing at all. I hope all his books are as good as this one was. Wonderful ending ... I loved it!! "
— Linda, 6/4/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book. It was light, and a very quick read. I found it to be one of those books that I wish I didn't have to put down until I had finished it. "
— Mary, 5/30/2013 -
" I loved the first 4 chapters of this book, but got bored with the middle. Had a hard time finishing it. The colour and accents from this country added to the biok "
— Rhonda, 5/14/2013 -
" Very predictable. Way too many technical details that unnecessarily lengthen the story. "
— Val, 4/16/2013 -
" Fast paced, good character development, all too realistic when reading it two weeks after the Boston Marathon bombings. "
— Donna, 1/14/2013 -
" I am baffled as to why Library Journal included this book on its list of Best Thrillers for 2012. This book was nothing but retread. Zero originality and the writing was amateur at best. There were no thrills to make this a thriller. Will not read anything else by this author. "
— Maureen, 1/3/2013 -
" Pretty good thriller. A mix up with the baggage at the airport leads to a mans wife and son disappearing. "
— Cheryl, 1/2/2013 -

" Loved this Mofina book like all others I have read. New York City, small town family, kidnapping, intrigue, terrorism. Fast-paced great book. "
— Cheryl, 12/4/2012 -
" I enjoyed this book. It was one that I couldn't put down. "
— Suequeenofchaos, 10/6/2012 -
" An enjoyable thriller about a father searching for his missing wife and son. If you enjoy "24" or films like "Frantic" you will most likely enjoy this fast moving chase. "
