Very enjoyable read. I have enjoyed all the James Grippando books that I have read. There is a twist that you usually don't suspect in the end.

Good mystery by an author that may be overlooked. Try this if you like John Grisham.

Excellent read--I did not see a plot twist coming at the end.

This was a fun, quick read. It was fast-paced and a real page turner. This was my first book by James Grippando and I look forward to reading more.

Matthew Rey has been kidnapped. The guerrillas want three million dollars to release him. Matthew had bought kidnap insurance and the amount of coverage was three million dollars. Some how they knew that. How? The insurance company refuses to pay, claiming fraud on Nick Rey's part, but is that the real reason? Matthew is held in the jungle and he may or may not survive even if the ransom is paid. Nick meets obstacles every way he turns. The insurance company, the FBI, all seem to be against him. The book will hold your attention. You won't want to put it down. It has many twists and turns. If you like a good mystery that is full of suspense, you will like this book.
