Shot to the Heart

By Blair Denholm

They kidnapped his daughter. Now ex-boxer Jack Lisbon's coming for everything they've got

When former boxer and Metropolitan Police detective Jack Lisbon returns to South London after a five-year stint in Australia, he's ready to reconnect with his daughter. But just three days after their reunion, the unthinkable happens: his child is abducted in broad daylight.

The kidnapper's demands are simple--pay the ransom and keep the police out of it, or the girl will pay the ultimate price. With time running out and no one else to turn to, Jack rounds up a mismatched crew of former colleagues and old sparring partners in a desperate attempt to track down the kidnapper.

As they work their way through a lengthy list of potential suspects, the team embarks on a high-stakes race that takes them from the streets of London to the far reaches of Scotland. But with each passing hour, the chances of finding Jack's daughter alive grow ever slimmer.

For his kid, he'll break every rule in the book. But time is slipping away

Perfect for fans of James Patterson, David Baldacci and Ian Rankin, Shot to the Heart, the fourth book in Blair Denholm's hard-boiled The Fighting Detective series, is a gritty, suspense-filled thriller that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
