About this listen
Sidney O'Keefe just wants to spend a peaceful weekend alone with his wife and daughter in the vacation paradise of Lake Placid, New York, now that he's been paroled after a 10-year stretch in a maximum security prison. But any illusion of a peaceful future is destroyed when his 11-year-old daughter Chloe suddenly disappears from the iconic beach scene, leaving Sidney and his wife Penny stricken with fear and panic.
When it's determined that his old crime boss Mickey Rabuffo might be behind the abduction, it becomes apparent that the past has not only come back to haunt Sidney, but it's come back to kill the entire family.
With the village police assuming that Sidney, an ex-con with a history of prison violence, is responsible for his daughter's disappearance, Sidney is left with no choice - he needs to take the law into his own hands, not only to expose the truth about what's developing into a conspiracy of biblical proportions, but also to render his own particular brand of rough justice.

The story describes most any parent's worst nightmare...a missing child. But this time, dad is just out of jail after serving 10 years for murders he claims he did not commit. Because of his special circumstances, he is afraid to tell the police about his missing daughter. The first parts of the story, where mom and dad are searching desperately for their daughter, seemed a little slow to me, but once they start to figure out what happened, things really pick up. Things progress rapidly, and it is fascinating how the reader slowly learns more and more about the main character. This part is perfectly paced and executed.
This is an enjoyable read/listen.

Written in the first person by a convicted murderer who continued to claim that he was not a killer, the man Sidney, released on parole after ten years imprisonment, is taking his first few days of freedom with his wife and eleven years old daughter when she is abducted. The book follows his actions, thoughts, fears and remembrances as he both faces up to the situation and tries to get her back.
Intense, provocative and sometimes surprising, this is a book of mixed emotions. Not one of Zandri's very best but still it does not disappoint. And Mr.Wehrlen's interpretation of the man desperate to find his daughter in extreme circumstances is excellent: fast, an undertow of emotions and with separate voicings for the various characters, as usual his is a fine and personal performance.
A sound psychological mystery thriller: Recommended
