The Octopus Hook Murders: A Gus Bolderjack Novel

Two power driven women with vastly different careers share one thing in common: kidnappers have ripped the fabric of their families. State Attorney General Carrie Sullivan-Bledsoe's son, Bobby, disappeared after baseball practice. Tabloid mogul Aubrey Allbright learns that her niece, Caylee, was snatched from Aubrey's mountain cabin. The crimes appear to be unconnected at first, but evidence soon suggests related psychopathic serial killers are involved, and that is the worst possible news for the hostages. Investigative duo Gus Bolderjack and Mattie Hendrix race against time to rescue the kids, and quickly become targets themselves. If that's not bad enough, they find themselves in a universe ruled by political ambition and double-dealing characters, including those they're trying to help. Treachery, greed, criminal psychology, and tabloid journalism fuel this adrenalin-pumping story from beginning to the end.
