This was the first book I've read by Terry Kay and can't wait to get his other books. The premise of the story was intriguing - the kidnapping and the value of a "nobody". Mr. Kay has a descriptive writting style yet it never gets bogged down. Would definitely recommend.
In one word - EXCELLENT!

This is the first book that I've read by Terry Kay - I held me entralled from beginning to end. Wonderful characters, great plot line and a clear message that people never REALLY see you. I felt strongly for Aaron Green - and thought the ending of the book (the whole book) was brillant! Kudo's to you Mr. Kay, looking forward to your next novel!
Fantastic read!

Since ..WHITE DOG I've been a Terry Kay fan, and I wasn't disappointed this time either. I believe Mr. Kay is a highly underrated author. Barnes and Noble doesn't even have this book in stock. John Grisham could learn a thing or two from the ending in this book. At the end you felt as if you'd gotten your moneys worth, that the author has respected his readers intelligence and stayed true to his story...didn't cop out with a cheesy ending. If you haven't read other words by Mr. Kay, give them a shot, you won't be disappointed. A very versatile author, and I always look forward to his books.
An amazingly good summer read!!

I am not a fan of mysteries, nor have I ever had the pleasure of reading Mr. Kay's work before, but I will now! I read this book while travelling, and it even had my husband intrigued. I had to give him updates every few pages, because he didn't want to wait until I was done to see how it ended. I was very impressed with the novel twists and turns he took the reader on. I've always found mysteries predictable, but this was far from it! It's a fast read, just because you can't put it down!
