Very suspenseful and interesting switching of viewpoints, but a bit unbelievable that so many people would be so cowardly toward pressing charges. It just made me frustrated at times.

Thirty-six years old but it's still suspenseful thril!er. After all the crime shows on TV no one nowadays would be so naive about how easily credit cards and telephone calls can give away your location.
