About the Books:
Former NYPD detective Thomas Austin is enjoying a rare date at a Monday Night Football game in Seattle when the evening takes a horrifying turn.
A team of merciless terrorists has taken over the stadium by force, blocking cellphone signals and sealing the exits.
The terrorists have a single demand: release a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative from a U.S. supermax prison. And they have a simple threat: do so in the next twenty-four hours or they will blow up the stadium, killing themselves along with tens of thousands of innocent victims.
With 60,000 fans in the crosshairs, and the world watching live on TV, Austin must work with security inside the stadium to find a weak point in the terrorists' plans before the countdown ends. But the closer he gets to the attackers, the more he believes their true plan is even more sinister than anyone would believe.
In the ultimate race against time, Thomas Austin will be tested in ways he never has before, and forced to answer the question: would you sacrifice someone you love to save a thousand strangers?
My Review:
I like these suspense novels set in the Pacific Northwest. I have never been to Lumen Field so it was fun to read about it, even under such dire circumstances. The setting of the huge sports stadium certainly presents a place in which terrorists could produce a massively deadly event. But Austin is there. He and his friends are able to take some action. The danger is great and the suspense high. I liked learning a little more about his family as his mother is there too. I did miss Run, Austin's corgi. I recommend this novel of suspense.
You can read my reviews of earlier books in the series: The Bones at Point No Point, The Shadows of Pike Place, The Fallen of Foulweather Bluff and The Horror at Murden Cove.
