Knuckle Down (CARTER MATHESON SERIES, #3)

New York City Mayor Lukas Burton's only daughter vanishes from Central Park in the middle of the day, right from under her Nanny's nose, leaving no clues at all. Within hours, the kidnappers create a spectacle by displaying their chilling ransom note on dozens of screens in the middle of Times Square. Burton pays an enormous ransom and his daughter is returned. But now young Abigail is rigged with enough explosives to destroy the Upper Eastside's Gracie Mansion. Then, the kidnappers raise the stakes, asking for a second ransom that could bankrupt the Mayor and ruin his chances of becoming the next President of the United States. Terrified and impatient, Burton's wife Clare takes matters in her hands, calling on old flame, Carter Matheson, to use his Special Ops prowess to hunt down the terrorists and save their daughter. Facing an impossible deadline, a human bomb, and an invisible opponent with too much power, Carter and team must race the clock and disarm the situation before all hell breaks loose. If you enjoy thrillers that have you staying up late into the night, turning pages at a feverish pace, then you will love the third book in the Carter Matheson Series. Readers have compared David Temple's Carter Matheson to John Sanford's Lucas Davenport and Lee Child's Jack Reacher. One thing is sure: You can't put it down!
