Rate this book
Συνεργεία διασώσεως τής άστυνομίας καί τής πυροσβεστικής, ειδικοί σέ θέματα έκρηκτικών υλών, πολλοί άστυνομικοί καί πλήθος κόσμου έχουν συγκεντρωθεί κάτω άπό τό τεράστιο κτίριο Πάρκ Τάουερ. Στό ρετιρέ ένας παρανοϊκός νεαρός κρατά αιχμάλωτη την όμορφη καί πάμπλουτη Τίνα Κλαίρ, διασημότητα καί άδυναμία των δημοσιογράφων. * Ο νεαρός ψυχοπαθής έχει σκοτώσει τό θυρωρό καί τό φύλακα, έχει μπλοκάρει τό άσανσέρ καί ειδοποίησε τούς άστυνομικούς πώς ή πόρτα τής σκάλας είναι παγιδευμένη μέ 20 κιλά έκρη-κτικής ύλης. Είχε δει την ένοικο τού διαμερίσματος τήν Προηγούμενη μέρα, καθώς έκανε τή.δουλειά του -καθάριζε τά τζάμια τού κτιρίου - καί τήν είχε έρωτευ-θεϊ μέ τήν πρώτη ματιά." Ο,τι έκανε τώρα τό έκανε γιατί ήθελε νά μείνουν «πάντα μαζί... οι δυό τους». Μιά ολόκληρη πόλη θά κρατήσει γιά ώρες τήν άνάσα της.

I generally like Elleston Trevor's writing & this book was no exception, I just felt that this tale of a hostage situation was dragged out too long & I was almost speed reading by the end.
