This is a fantastic read but be warned_it is emphatically not a PG-13 rated book. Although the author warned me near the explicit sex and fury in this reserve when he contacted me as a reviewer, I was however not prepared for the graphic dreams and flashbacks of a Viet Nam Tunnel Rat veteran suffering from PTSD. I have apparently been sheltered by friends and relatives who are veterans of that war.
Thus warned (but be prepared) don`t lose out on this fantastic suspense thriller.
Kit, a college co-ed from a dysfunctional family, is kidnapped from the center while Christmas shopping with her roommate Irina. Her father, Ralph, a weakling in every possible sense and unable to handle even the slightest amount of stress, calls on his brother Rich Brant to help rescue Kit.
Rich, a former Tunnel Rat in the Viet Nam War suffering from PTSD, is nearer to Kit than her own father; whereas, Ralph retreats to a tree to tremble, Rich goes into action. He quickly finds that the police aren`t interested in helping so he calls in favors from his past to gain information. He is led to think that the Serbian mafia, now operating in this country, has taken Kit and mean to betray her into the sex trade.
Is he receiving psychic messages from Kit asking him to please see her and letting him know she is run out of time?
