But something about this kidnapping is much different, Hickey isnt really interesting in moeny. What could he be interesetd in? Read this book and find out. Theres a movie out now called "Trapped" thats based on this book. I highly, highly, highly suggest you read this book. I can promise you wont be sorry.

The Jennings are a model family: Will is a much sought-after anesthesiologist, while his wife Karen is a discontent housewife who was forced to put her own promising medical career on hold when she became pregnant. Little Abby is the result, precocious and suffering from severe juvenile diabetes, a plot point that comes up again and again throughout the story. While Will is away at a medical conference, Abby is kidnapped by another type of family that falls somewhere on the opposite end of the scale from the Jennings. The resulting nightmare is brilliantly told thriller that holds ones attention like it was stapled to the page! With a series of double-crosses and unexpected plot twists, the story roars along to an intelligent conclusion.

This being my first reading of any of Iles books, I will definitely seek out his others as soon as possible!
