I've read all of Berman's books and am a complete addict at this point. Of all his books, Abducted freaked me out the most, and I mean that as a compliment. Like most thrillers, the story could happen in real life, but the story of Angela Disler and her job as a virologist really added to the tension of the story and definitely messed with my mind when I went to my own job (I work with the public).
