  • "Wat zou jij uit liefde doen? Zou je doden? Zou je voor haar sterven? Mitch denkt aan een grap, maar de spreker is doodserieus. Mitch zal zijn vrouw terugkrijgen voor twee miljoen cash. Het kan de ontvoerder niet schelen dat Mitch een tuinbedrijfje heeft en nooit zo'n bedrag kan vrijmaken. Hij weet zeker dat Mitch een manier kan vinden. Als hij genoeg van zijn vrouw houdt. Om de druk te vergroten wordt direct voor de ogen van Mitch een willekeurige voorbijganger doodgeschoten."

  • "Koontz (Forever Odd) is likely to have himself another bestseller in this pulse-pounding thriller with echoes of Hitchcock and Cornell Woolrich. One morning, Southern California gardener Mitchell Rafferty gets a call on his cellphone from a stranger saying that Mitch's beloved wife, Holly, has been kidnapped and that he has less than three days to come up with $2 million in cash. Of course, he's warned not to involve the police. While Mitch is still on the phone, the kidnapper proves his seriousness by directing Mitch's attention to a man walking a dog across the street. A moment later the man is shot dead. Mitch must walk a fine line, cooperating with the police inquiry into this murder without revealing Holly's plight. Koontz ratchets up the tension in a manner sure to captivate most readers, though some may find the ending anticlimactic."@en
