Jeff Talley used to be a negotiator for the LAPD SWAT team. After the death of a young hostage, however, he left the LAPD and opted for a position as the Chief of Police for a small California town with little to no violent crime. Now, however, three punks rob a grocery store, kill its owner, and in the process of fleeing, end up taking Walter Smith and his two children hostage in their own home. This was the nightmare that Talley had run from. It turns out to be even more personal than he could imagine.
I love Rober Crais' Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series. This was similarly a very enjoyable thriller that kept me turning pages. I have since discovered that this book was turned into a 2005 Bruce Willis action movie that I now plan to watch.
