Hostage (Paperback) by Robert Crais

Hostage by Robert Crais
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Fast paced adventure. Denis has just got out of the Ant Farm and decides to rob a convenience store and drags his younger brother Kevin along. I felt sorry for Kevin the poor guy was one of those people who are easily bullied into doing things. He also brings Mars along and this was a huge mistake as Mars isn't who Denis thinks he is. Unfortunately for Dennis the store owner is tired of being robbed and pulls a gun on the hooligans. Dennis fights him for the gun and the store owner is killed. Then their car breaks down as they are fleeing the scene and they break into a home in a gated community and take the Father and two children hostage.

The Father is an accountant for the mob and he has incriminating evidence in his possession. They kidnap Jeff Talley's family in an attempt to get the info back.

Jeff Talley isn't your usual small town sheriff. He is a former member of SWAT and a hostage negotiator. He'll use all his skills to get the children out of the house alive and rescue his own family while bringing the mob down.
