One of the Best Thrillers of the Year

Brian Pinkerton's ABDUCTED may have passed under your radar due to its low profile release, but if you are fortunate enough to discover this title, you will be rewarded with a reading experience far superior to many recent thrillers on the New York Times Bestsellers list. Though there have been many novels involving the abduction of a child, in Mr. Pinkerton's hands the concept is fresh and full of completely unexpected plot twists. You WILL audibly gasp at at least one point. You WILL read this book in one sitting...even if the house is on fire! Judging from this novel, and his most recent one VENGEANCE, Brian Pinkerton is a name to remember. His work is already superior to those of well-known names such as James Patterson and James Siegel. Also Recommended: HOME IS THE SAILOR by Day Keene; THE CONFESSION by Dominic Stansberry; GRIFTER'S GAME by Lawrence Block; THE CRIMINALIST by William Relling Jr.; NIGHT CAGE by Andrew Harper; SUNSET AND SAWDUST by Joe R. Lansdale; THE ICE HARVEST by Scott Phillips.

OUTSTANDING! A book worthy of being called a thriller.

Anita's story compelled me to keep reading - right to the end without putting the book down. The heart stopping moments kept me awake all night wondering what I'd have done in her shoes. The writer in me knows Brian made the right choices for her. Gripping and definitely worth the read. Kelsy George 2004 RWA Golden Heart finalist

Awesome book!

I read this book in 2 days, couldn't put it down! I had never heard of this author before, but I took a chance and I am so glad I did. Anyone who has children can sympathize with the main character Anita. There was never a dull moment in this one. Highly recommended!!

DON'T MISS THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

This book was recommended to me by my aunt, and was I ever glad I tracked down a copy for myself!! A wonderful suspense/thriller that is superbly characterized and plotted! This book will grab your attention from the very first page and won't let go till the very end. Once I started it, there was no stopping me. This author's words just flow, and the story draws you right in. A very nice twist at the end, this book will keep you guessing! I would think that they should be fighting over the film rights to this book. Get yourself a copy, you won't be disappointed. What a great summer beach read! Thanks, Brian, for hours of reading pleasure. Can't wait for his next book!

The Wife Wants a Little One -- Forget It!

She'll get a little one, alright. But not the kind she's hoping for.No kids for me after reading Pinkerton's book. This world is no place for innocent children. Besides, I've already seen too many kids on the bus that could be mine.I don't read fiction. I don't like fiction. I don't like guys -- authors or not -- with full heads of black hair. But something compelled me to pick this book off the display table at Barnes & Noble. (OK, I'll touch anything that's shiny and red, but that's a different story.) And I loved it!This is a sensational read. Pinkerton has written a can't-put-it-down thriller that left me wanting more. The book reads like a screenplay -- it's that vivid; plays like a movie in your mind. I might just give more fiction a chance. Maybe I'll start with his other book!Brian Pinkerton is one talented writer. I bet he could even make insurance sound interesting!
