Book Description:
The New York Times bestselling master of ticking-bomb suspense.
Eight vulnerable girls and their helpless teachers are forced off a school bus and held hostage. The madman who has them at gunpoint has a simple plan: one hostage an hour will die unless the demands are met. Called to the scene is Arthur Potter, the FBI's best hostage negotiator. He has a plan. But so does one of the hostages-a beautiful teacher who's willing to do anything to save the lives of her students. Now, the clock is ticking as a chilling game of cat and mouse begins.

Loved this book, but it would definitely be R-rated as a movie for violence and some really intense scenes. It reminded me of some of the really great hostage stories, mixed with that classic Deaver twisting and turning throughout.

Although I love the Lincoln Rhyme series, this is one of Jeffery Deaver's better books. It is suspenseful until the very end. If you enjoy any of Deaver's other books, you will thouroughly enjoy this one. Make sure you have time to read -- once you get past halfway in the book, you will not be able to put it down.

Very suspensefull. Quite a different plot than most thriller books. I loved the way the story is told, keeps you turning the pages. Another hard to put down book. Characters are very real.
