Plot

Ariana Gregory, the daughter of a recently widowed US ambassador, arrives in Paris a year after being kidnapped in Buenos Aires. There she meets Marshall Everett, a former undercover DEA agent. Ariana's safety now depends on one man- Marshall.

Reception

The novel received mixed reviews from critics. Ann-Maree Lourey of the New Castle Herald praised the story's gripping plot and pointed out its similarities to the Patty Hearst kidnapping. However, Lourey also criticized Steel's writing style, commenting "I am still waiting for Steel to learn to write, as opposed to being able to come up with stories. Surely she should realise by now that her writing is extremely stilted in any and every novel that she writes?"[2]

gollark: > you didnt realize reatailers use face mapping technology for years?Not sure about that, but I would definitely want to *minimize* the amount of cameras and/or spying in any case.
gollark: > And you can track people for block and block on end, via public transit cameras. So even if they get a brief glimpse of the person, they can track them until they get an identifiable image or even where they live. Subpoenaing records is just building the case to prove it was youSounds surveillance-state-y.
gollark: Ah yes, one example, so that means EVERYONE gets caught.
gollark: h? h.
gollark: Looks helicoptery.
