When a crazed escaped convict breaks in and takes Becca hostage, he shatters her sanctuary and forces her to take part in his explosive revenge plot.

When a shortage of negotiators puts him back on the front line, he discovers the hostage is Becca, his once best friend and the first girl he’d ever loved. Remaining detached becomes impossible.

Lured into the mad man’s scheme, Jack and Becca are linked by a dirty bomb rigged to detonate if they separate.

Review by: Doris Holmes on Jan. 13, 2012 :
I was a little perplexed by the heroine until I remembered a lady at my church who was afflicted by this disorder. Understanding that, I read with more tolerance for Becca. A good read even though the villain was a little far fetched.
