Publisher's summary

We've got your daughter.

It's evening, you're back late from work - and the house is in darkness.

You step inside, and the phone rings. You answer it - and your world is turned upside down. Your 14-year-old daughter's been taken and her kidnappers demand half a million pounds in cash. They give you 48 hours to raise the money. If you call the police, she will die.

As the nightmare unravels, you can be certain of only two things: that you will do anything to get your daughter back alive - and that time is running out....

A normal average husband then......

Which character – as performed by Paul Thornley – was your favorite?

For me Paul Thornley is one of the best narrators the is..

Any additional comments?

An excellant story line which takes an normal, average husband into his worst nightmare.
He faces loosing everything he has unless he changes his outlook on life. Time to become James Bond..

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
