From the back cover: TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation when she hears the news on the radio: The teenage daughter of Fort Worth tycoon Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. Immediately, she abandons her holiday plans to chase down what would be the scoop of a lifetime. But in a town called Rojo Flats an innocuous stop at a convenience store thrusts her directly into the dramatic story - and a dangerous drama. For inside the shop two desperate young lovers are holding a half dozen frightened hostages..and a powder keg of a standoff is about to test Tiel's courage, journalistic objectivity, and everything she has ever believed.

What a thrill to be walking through a Christmas gift's bazaar and spot this little book sitting on a chair. The "FREE" post-it on the front enabled me to recognize the gift awaiting me just a few steps away. Thank you 'O Fellow Bookcrosser. I look forward to my reading experience.

Released on Saturday, November 29, 2003 at Seaside Civic and Convention Center in Seaside, Oregon USA.

Oops! Didn't mean to write a release note after the book was caught. You were speedy, PamelaJane. Thanks. The book is no longer in the wild.

"Happily ever-after" ending with action and suspense from page one! What more does a book need? I'm so glad I ran across this one. I started reading it Saturday night and finished it Monday night. That's quick for me, what with all my other "distractions."

Released on Wednesday, January 21, 2004 at Phil's 1500 subs in the Safeway shopping center in Forest Grove, Oregon USA.

Great book for reading while dining at Phil's! Best soup in town. . . my favorite is the tomato basil.

I walked into Phil's Sub shop in Forest Grove, OR on January 28th to pick up dinner. They had a small book rack and this label on the book that said "FREE!" kind of waved at me. Since I had a few minutes to kill, I sat down and started reading about bookcrossing.com. I just thought the whole concept so cool, I had to read this book! I can't wait to set it free! Whoo raaa!
