The Girl They Took
Tess Winnett, Book 8
by Leslie Wolfe
Genre:
Crime Thriller, Suspense
Where
her daughter had played Gretel in front of a cheering audience, only
two faint stage lights remained. The theater was deserted and eerily
silent; the only sound she could hear was her own heart, pounding in
a frenzy against her chest. She rushed outside and stopped sharply at
the top of the stairs, stunned, her blood turned to icicles. Darkness
had fallen, thick and filled with ocean mist, lampposts like ghosts
sprinkling yellow haloes in the sky.
Paige was gone. They’d
taken her little girl.
“Wow.
I think I just fell head over heels in love with a fictional
character. Tess
Winnett is one of the smartest FBI agents and profilers I have come
across yet and with analytical skills to rival Sherlock Holmes. Hats
off to Leslie Wolfe for easily the
best thriller I have read in this genre for
many, many years!” – Manie Kilianon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The
girl: taken
After
eight-year-old Paige disappears without a trace, FBI
Special Agent Tess Winnett is
called to investigate one of the boldest kidnappings the bureau has
seen. The girl was taken from a theater filled with witnesses, in the
middle of a children’s play. And no one saw anything.
Starting
a frenzied search and following leads that seem to suggest a link to
the girl’s father, the state district attorney, Tess is stunned to
learn of a ransom call that points to an entirely different motive,
old as time itself: money.
The
first twenty-four hours: critical
Frantic
for answers and painfully aware of each passing moment, Tess has a
choice to make: trust her instinct and follow the leads that seem to
indicate an organized crime connection? Or give in to the demands of
the parents and assist with the ransom payment?
The
odds of finding Paige alive drop with every passing second, and
making the wrong choice would seal her fate. Her blood would be on
her hands.
The
best-selling author of Dawn
Girl is
back with another suspenseful, gripping crime thriller. If you’re a
fan of David Baldacci, Melinda Leigh, and James Patterson, you will
enjoy Leslie Wolfe’s enthralling police procedural that will keep
you reading until the early morning hours.
