This is a true story of the perfect kind of love that anyone would want in a marriage.
A simple gardner, Mitch Rafferty, gets a disturbing phone call from a stranger stating that he has his wife, Holly. Mitch is confused, devastated, and the stranger then tells him that he has less than 3 days to come up with $2 million in cash. Meanwhile, a pedestrian is shot and killed when Mitch dives to take cover. The detective on the case seems to point his finger toward Mitch but more and more twists are told to us.
Mitch only has $11,000 in his checkings and will do anything and everything to get his wife back. Is that enough though?
As the tale spins in this story, Mitch's simple family life seems more than just simple. We learn many unexpected twists and Koontz will keep you up all night long reading this novel full of twists and turns.
This book is fun. Koontz drops you into the dilemma on page one and the action charges on from there. I found myself thinking, "This character's smart. What else could such a simple man do in this mess?" Mitch, the main character, is a hero. -Stephen Prins, author of: Strife of the Lorin
