This is a stand alone novel by Robert Crais. I thought that I would miss Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, but I didn't, this was great to read.As the title implies this involves a hostage situation. A store robbery goes wrong and the three young criminals hold up in a house that is owned by an accountant for the Mob. And his two young children are taken hostage too.
Add to this the local police chief who has been in a hostage situation that has gone wrong before. He has come to the suburbs for a quiet life and now he finds himself back in the spotlight. How will he cope with the hostages and the Mob. How will his personal relationship with his wife change by this experience?
A great book but the ending could have been a bit better.
Still, 9/10 for me.
