When budding computer programmer Michelle Quinn disappears from her quiet Santa Cruz 

neighborhood, the police find no evidence of her kidnapper and seem to give up almost immediately. 

Her father Gabriel, a private charter pilot, believes Michelle is still alive, but he knows that her time is 

short. Unwilling to sit idly by and wait for the police to solve the crime, Gabriel sets out to find his 

daughter himself.

A handful of friends close to the Quinn family join Gabriel, including Michelle's godfather Matthias, a 

Russian Orthodox monk, and newspaper reporter Lisa Miller. They believe Michelle's kidnapping is 

related to the three unsolved disappearances in the Sierra Nevada mountains the previous year. When 

Gabriel himself becomes a suspect in the police investigation, he and his friends press forward with 

abandon, taking the law into their own hands as they desperately search for any clue pointing to 

Michelle's kidnapper. 

Meanwhile, Michelle finds herself trapped in a broken down house in the mountains, surrounded by 
razor wire. At first, her kidnapper, Roper Lund, does not show himself, and Michelle struggles to clear 
her mind from the sleeping drugs he gave her. Gradually she remembers how he tricked her into getting 
into his car, and she understands that she is in mortal danger. She has no idea whether her father or the 
police are searching for her, or if they even know that Lund kidnapped her. Michelle decides that her 
only hope is to rescue herself. So she sets out on her own desperate adventure to find a way out of 
Lund's custom-made prison for little girls. 

This is a complete novel containing over 100,000 words. A real thriller! Well worth the asking price! 
In fact, this book should be selling for more than twice the price! I personally give it 5-Stars.
