  <description><![CDATA[<em>New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box’s novels have been called “red hot,” “edge-of-your-seat read[s],” and “unforgettable, powerful.” Now he delivers a novel that will steal your sleep as much as it will wrench your heart. It’s a novel about something that could be anyone’s worst nightmare. . . .</em><br/><br/>Jack and Melissa McGuane have spent years trying to have a baby. Finally their dream has come true with the adoption of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call from the adoption agency: Angelina’s birth father, a teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will use every advantage his position of power affords him to make sure it happens. When Jack and Melissa attempt to handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that there’s something sinister about both of them and that love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions.<br/><br/>As Angelina’s safety hangs in the balance, Jack and Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no one is safe.<br/><br/><em>How far would you go to save someone you love?</em><br/><br/>C.J. Box has once again written a bone-chilling thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<em>New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box’s novels have been called “red hot,” “edge-of-your-seat read[s],” and “unforgettable, powerful.” Now he delivers a novel that will steal your sleep as much as it will wrench your heart. It’s a novel about something that could be anyone’s worst nightmare. . . .</em><br/><br/>Jack and Melissa McGuane have spent years trying to have a baby. Finally their dream has come true with the adoption of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call from the adoption agency: Angelina’s birth father, a teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will use every advantage his position of power affords him to make sure it happens. When Jack and Melissa attempt to handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that there’s something sinister about both of them and that love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions.<br/><br/>As Angelina’s safety hangs in the balance, Jack and Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no one is safe.<br/><br/><em>How far would you go to save someone you love?</em><br/><br/>C.J. Box has once again written a bone-chilling thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I like characters and setting more than plot, so I think Box does a better job on the first two than on the last. But I was disappointed in the characters in this book.

    <![CDATA[<em>New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box’s novels have been called “red hot,” “edge-of-your-seat read[s],” and “unforgettable, powerful.” Now he delivers a novel that will steal your sleep as much as it will wrench your heart. It’s a novel about something that could be anyone’s worst nightmare. . . .</em><br/><br/>Jack and Melissa McGuane have spent years trying to have a baby. Finally their dream has come true with the adoption of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call from the adoption agency: Angelina’s birth father, a teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will use every advantage his position of power affords him to make sure it happens. When Jack and Melissa attempt to handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that there’s something sinister about both of them and that love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions.<br/><br/>As Angelina’s safety hangs in the balance, Jack and Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no one is safe.<br/><br/><em>How far would you go to save someone you love?</em><br/><br/>C.J. Box has once again written a bone-chilling thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book in one sitting, from 8pm to midnight, even though the story wasn't really good.  I liked the premise, a young couple has adopted a baby, only to learn that the teenage father never signed away his parental rights.  The young man's father decides his son needs to own up to his respon...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54124886">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<em>New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box’s novels have been called “red hot,” “edge-of-your-seat read[s],” and “unforgettable, powerful.” Now he delivers a novel that will steal your sleep as much as it will wrench your heart. It’s a novel about something that could be anyone’s worst nightmare. . . .</em><br/><br/>Jack and Melissa McGuane have spent years trying to have a baby. Finally their dream has come true with the adoption of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call from the adoption agency: Angelina’s birth father, a teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will use every advantage his position of power affords him to make sure it happens. When Jack and Melissa attempt to handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that there’s something sinister about both of them and that love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions.<br/><br/>As Angelina’s safety hangs in the balance, Jack and Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no one is safe.<br/><br/><em>How far would you go to save someone you love?</em><br/><br/>C.J. Box has once again written a bone-chilling thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[i really liked box's latest standalone book. he seems to have  broken the &quot;mold&quot; that he's used in his other book and his story line isn't formulaic (at least not to me).  his main characters are likeable and the bad guys are truly despicable. the story revolves around an adoption where th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43723693">more...</a>]]></body>
