Synopsis

The night before the Thanksgiving Day Parade, a crowd gathers on Manhattan's Upper West Side to watch the giant balloons fill with helium and rise toward the sky. Then the ritual takes a terrifying turn—a gunshot rings out, police commissioner Logan Donovan falls, and panic erupts. When the chaos clears, another crime is revealed: Donovan's daughter, Allie, has been kidnapped.

Within hours, Special Agent Eve Rossi and her handpicked team of quick-thinking, swift-moving, hard-striking former convicts know a lot about the kidnapper. He's somewhere close by, holding Allie along with a captive boy. He hates Logan Donovan enough to destroy him. And he will kill.

But there's more Eve and her team don't know—a weapon planted inside the parade, Commissioner Donovan's hidden life, and the secrets his daughter keeps. As people line the streets, a desperate race begins to keep the city from being torn asunder by a brutal act of violence. But even as her squad deploys, Eve grapples with a harrowing question: Whom should she fear more—a vengeful man threatening innocent lives, or a charming, arrogant cop fighting to save his daughter, who may be trying to cover up his crimes?

Full disclosure…this is the second in the series. But my local library did not have the first book. Still, I was able to read this as a stand-alone. However, I encourage readers to try and read all books in series order, if possible. On to my review… Nothing like a “hot” strong woman protagonist name......more

It was perfect timing for me, for this story is about a kidnapping of a young girl during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. A good enough plot th......more
