Vanish by Tess Gerritsen
Dr Maura Isles is in the cold room of the morgue when she hears a noise. Your nerves tingle as you read how one body is still breathing. Thus starts a story about murder and blackmail and how people in the higher realms of power can physically abuse and scare others. Your heart will beat faster as you experience a hostage situation, it will break in sympathy with a young girl's fear and you will pray for a newborn baby's safety. The scarey thing is that life can really be like this. An unputdownable read.
