A searingly page-turning, totally gripping, rollercoaster of a read that will appeal to readers of PJ Tracy and Harlan Coben (and anyone who loves 24 and the CSI series).
Grace Descanso is a young single mother working for CSI San Diego. It's a demanding job Grace struggles to spend as much time as she would like with her 5-year-old daughter Katie. But when a routine crime scene turns into a bloodbath, Grace realises that someone is after her. Then Katie is snatched from their house, the place where they should both be safest. Katie is all shes got and Grace hasn't got much time to work out why and where shes been taken. Welcome to The Timer Game.
' "The Timer Game" is a highly entertaining, intelligent, original yet classic thriller. Susan Arnout Smith has written a gem here -- memorable characters and a fast and furious ticking-clock plot. A really good read!' John Lescroart
