review 1: A kidnapping is just a kidnapping or is it? That is what the reader and the main character Mark Wallace have to deal with in this book. It was very suspenseful, violent and complicated but a very compelling read. Mark and Claire's son Kyle disappeared seven years ago on a trip to the video store one evening. The case was never closed. Mark receives some unanticipated information about Saudi Arabian oil reserves in relation to his job. While investigating the validity of the information, Mark discovers coincidences that seem tie into Kyle's disappearance. There are a lot of characters to keep track of as well as political themes that will resonate with the reader.
review 2: Kyle, Mark and Claire Wallace's boy disappears one night...No ransom notes, no body...M... moreark Wallace is an energy industry analyst...the man with a large scar running down the side of his face...Hmmm: who dunnit and why?This international thriller with a family cast of characters is a good read. As I write this, I think I see how all motives, deceptions, twists and turns of plot fit together, but you'll have to read it yourself to put it all together. Lee Vance was a Goldman Sachs trader, so his take on how negotiation, deals and betrayals work is New York smooth. less
