A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Carter "Lucky" Matheson returns in this page-turning, high-action thriller. Hot off the dusty trail of Havana, Cuba, Carter and sidekick "Mack" MacKenzie are called to New York City to help an old friend. This time, the subject is a little girl. The enemy has no face. And at the center of the action is Carter's former flame, Clare Burton. When Mayor Lukas Burton's only daughter vanishes in broad daylight in Central Park, the city's leader will stop at nothing to bring her home safely. After Burton pays a ransom worthy of settling a small countries debt, she is returned. However, the kidnappers raise the stakes, asking for a second ransom that could bankrupt the Mayor and ruin his hopes of becoming the next President of the United States. Lukas and Clare have been duped, because when young Abigail surfaces, she's returned with enough explosives to destroy her family's Upper Eastside neighborhood. Feeling burdened with both emotional and financial bankruptcy, the Mayor's wife takes matters into her own hands, calling on her old flame Carter to use his Special Ops prowess to hunt down a foe with power and position no one expected. Facing an impossible deadline, a little girl who is literally a ticking bomb, and chasing an invisible opponent, Carter must race the clock, find the kidnappers and disarm the bomb before all hell breaks loose.
