Worry about the approaching custody battle for her niece Kelly with Estelle, her dead brother’s rich mother-in-law, causes off road race car driver Sara Hackett to lose control of her car halfway through the Australian Desert Safari, a race between Sydney and Darwin. Out of the race, she decides to go back to Long Beach, California a week early.
When she arrives home she finds her niece has been kidnapped. The kidnappers want a million dollars from Estelle who Sara believes won’t pay. Sara sees on the news that software magnate Cyril Radoslaw’s daughter Paige has also been kidnapped. She knows that Clay, her police officer husband, has been advising Radoslaw on security and figures out that he is behind both kidnappings.

The next day Radoslaw is found dead in Sara’s bed. Now the police are after her and the message to Sara is clear. Radoslaw wouldn’t pay either. Sara is desperate. She has to elude her husband, the police and find the girls before the deadline runs out.

Desperation moon

This story had me hooked and did not let up. So many female heroes and so many bad guys and yet with all the extraordinarily convoluted crises was extremely enjoyable.
Thank you Ken Douglas!

This was a bit more intense than what I usually like to read, since I often read before bed, but I still liked it.
