In his third novel, critical favorite and bestselling author Michael Grant moves full throttle into the mainstream thriller genre, with a story of high-tech cat and mouse played out in a Manhattan skyscraper.
Mike Devlin is the field leader for the NYPD's SWAT team when department politics force him to accept a new job: security chief for Taggart Industries. His first task is a daunting one: improve the lax security at Taggart Tower, and do it in a hurry, since threats have been made against the life of CEO Jason Taggart. While Devlin sets to work on both electronic and personal security, the would-be assassin circles ever closer. This is a top-notch thriller fueled by spicy dialogue, tremendous authenticity, and cleverly drawn characters--even those who appear briefly seem to have a life away from these pages. Author Grant was both a cop and a private security chief in a building such as Taggart Tower. The detail he provides about the process of tightening security proves surprisingly fascinating, and the atmosphere of quiet hallways, opulent boardrooms, and sinister sub-basements brings this high-rise from hell vividly to life. Toss in a satisfying conclusion and a great villain, and you've got a great read. Wes Lukowsky
