ON THE LINE

Lydia Chin has been kidnapped and Bill Smith must find her before she is killed. The killer is someone from his past and he wants to play a game with Bill. Bill has to solve the clues to find Lydia. Bill seeks help from Lydia's cousin, Linus, who is a computer geek. Linus also has his friend, Trella, join the hunt. Together, the desperately race through New York, all the while eluding the police for a few transgressions and a Chinese pimp who thinks that Bill may be responsible for the death of one of his girls who was found while Bill is searching for Lydia.

This book was a thriller from beginning to end. Bill Smith's agony was palpable. The addition of the characters, Linus and Trella added lots to the story and I am hoping that they appear in future books. S.J. Rozan has a habit of switching perspectives from Bill to Lydia from one book to the next. This was Bill's book and it was very well done. I did miss Lydia, though. The book was a fast and exciting read and I can't wait for the next one!

Rating - A
