  <default_description>Ben Brice lives alone in the New Mexico wilderness where he battles memories of Vietnam with oceans of Jim Beam.  Miles away in Texas, his estranged son, John, an Internet geek-turned-billionaire, half watches his daughter Gracie's soccer game while conducting business on his cell phone.  When her mother Elizabeth arrives, the coach reports that her uncle has already collected Gracie.  But Gracie has no uncle--she was kidnapped. &lt;P&gt; From international best-selling author Mark Gimenez comes a terrifying thriller in which dark family secrets make the finding of ten-year-old Gracie Brice more uncertain with every passing minute.  And so begins a furious race against time to save Gracie from unknown kidnappers.  With the FBI camped out in the Brice mansion, the family offers a reward of $25 million.  Somehow, Ben and John Brice must find Gracie before it is too late.  As the story unfolds with riveting twists and turns, the reader discovers that behind the kidnapping is an extraordinary government plot that could change the course of American history.  And time is running out....</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm quite disappointed with this book as to me the story line was not good and its has too simple ending. I read Mark Gimenez first book The Color of Law and it was so good, I thought that he is going to be the next John Grisham. But after reading this book I kinda have a little doubt about that.

    <body><![CDATA[When a millionaire businessman's daughter is kidnapped, the seemingly run-of-the-mill ransom case takes on a new twist when FBI agents learn of dark family secrets that lead directly to the White House with the ability to change American history.  <br/><br/>Thrilling and fast-paced.

    <body><![CDATA[Enjoyed this, initially thought this was going to be a straightforward tale about a kidnap, however as the story went on the author showed his talents with broadening the story out, 2nd book I've read by Mr Gimenez &amp; to me has a lot of potential to be a rival to big-hitters like Grisham.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The was a trashy page turner that I felt dirty for liking! So many bad points to it and had an annoying religeous twist to it that never sits well with me.  But, saying all this, I found it a real fast page turner and was great for the bus journey to work.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the second Mark Gimenez I've read and I really like his work.  His characters are engaging, the plot moves quickly, and there's a sense of optimism in his work that I appreciate.  I think there are at least two more books of his that I have to find.]]></body>
