Synopsis

A Fallen Hero. His Missing Daughter. 48 Hours to Save Her Life-And The Clock is Ticking... A former prosecutor on the rise, Tom Redmon is today a low-rent attorney mired in unwinnable cases and an alcoholic haze. No one believes in him except his daughter, Jane, a Washington Post reporter, and his one friend, reformed biker and P.I. Mike Tubbs. Then suddenly Redmon gets the ultimate wake-up call: his daughter is gone-kidnapped. Jumping into his old pickup with Tubbs, Redmon burns rubber on a frantic search that will take him into the labyrinth that is Washington...and dangerously close to the line that separates right from wrong. There's no time for mistakes: as an ex-cop, he knows that victims have only two days to be rescued before they're found dead.

Police operate on the theory that if a kidnapped victim isn't found within the first 48 hours, the chances of turning up alive are slim. Jane Redmon is a WASHINGTON POST reporter who is receiving damning information about a prominent United States senator. When she's kidnapped, under the orders of the senator, her father, retired cop Tom Redmon, and his former partner, Mike Tubbs, begin a desperate search to find her within the 48-hour timeframe. Stephen Lang does an excellent job maintaining suspense. His narration adds greatly to the enjoyment of this thriller.
