In one of the year’s most impressive debuts, Glenn McAnally lands onto the fiction scene as the new breed of thriller writer with a literary tour de force, deftly propelling the reader through a gritty contemporary adventure told in classic cliffhanger style. Intruders break into a home, abduct a father, shoot his wife and leave her to die. They recklessly flee by car and make the mistake of running a light and coming within inches from killing Robert Shannon, a paramedic and disgraced ex-cop. With another ambulance off to assist the wife, Shannon floors it and catches sight of the fleeing car and alerts police. The chase escalates into a volatile standoff atop a shipyard crane. Shannon commits a daring act of salvation and starts a deadly brawl on a shipping container that hangs one hundred feet above the ground. He snatches the husband from certain death. But to his complete shock, his theory on the motive behind the abductions proves correct, which means his heroism has put his and other innocent lives at stake. Shannon successfully warns all but a young woman, Liza, who cannot be found. Poor circumstances force him to search for her himself. After much tribulation, he physically reaches the stunning beauty at a ski resort. And right in time, as minutes later an international team of killers attempts to grab Liza. He outsmarts them and helps her narrowly avoid capture. But the killers enact a devious plan, leaving Shannon and Liza with no one to turn to, not even the law. That begins the perilous chase through the Pacific Northwest, Shannon fighting to protect her and stay alive whether he’s dragging under a speeding car, breaking out of a moving police cruiser, engaging in--hands cuffed behind him--a shootout, dangling and jumping from a tree skimming chopper or braving monster waves to catch a sub. Here is a novel that will keep you riveted with its sheer excitement, jaw dropping action and heart-stopping suspense, right up to the shocking c
