Special Crimes Task Force #2
Mind Rift
Boys and girls are being kidnapped, but there haven't been any ransom calls. The Special Crimes Task Force is already at a disadvantage because they're assigned the case a month after the first child disappeared. The kidnapper has had the chance to perfect his or her method and is able to avoid being seen. All Lieutenant Jake Stalb and his team know is they must stop the abductions and find the kids before they're lost forever. Unfortunately, the F.B.I. ceases full control of the investigation because a detective becomes a suspect. Being barred from the case, the Task Force must decide if they'll follow orders or disobey in order to find one of their own.

I started reading Ms. Myer's books a few years back, starting with Detective Jake: The Search for Truth, and have faithfully waited in line for all of her new books ever since!
I have to say this one is my favorite. It is action packed and kept me reading until my eyes started closing on their own. All of the characters play a special part and I especially fell in love with Buddy, a very important three-year old in the book. This was one of those stories that kept me wondering about how it was going to end and Ms. Myer's did not let me down.
To give a brief summary, many children are being kidnapped and time is of the essence to find them and bring them home safely. There are plenty of twists and it's up to the special crimes task force to see that this crime spree is stopped. Can they do it? You'll have to read it to find out.
I liked it so much that I plan on reading this again very soon...and I rarely read books twice!
