Description
In one terrible moment, paramedic Sophie Phillips' life is torn apart - her police officer husband, Chris, is shot on their doorstep and their ten-month-old son, Lachlan, is stolen from his bed. The police suspect Chris is involved with a number of armed hold-ups and that the attack is revenge for his desire to distance himself from the robberies, but Sophie believes the attack is much more personal - and the perpetrator far more dangerous...While Chris is in hospital and the police, led by Detective Ella Marconi, are moving heaven and earth to find their colleague's child, Sophie's desperation to make amends compels her to search for Lachlan herself. She enlists her husband's partner, Angus Arendson, in her hunt for her son, but will the history they share prove harmful to Sophie's ability to complete her mission?

1 star rating by Boomert - Frantic by Katherine Howell _*_ 09 Jan 2010
Written by a former ambulance officer, this is a real page-turner and will certainly appeal to fans of medical-based crime thrillers. This good first novel, with some stylistic drawbacks, could easily be recommended to those seeking a fast-paced and involving read to fill in some entertainment hours. The style could be compared to that of Lisa Gardner, or Kathryn Fox, or to watching the television series ‘24’. It is set over six days, with chapters broken into time periods of hours and minutes. Sophie is a paramedic with a young son and a surly policeman husband, who, ever since his assault a few months prior, seems to have a changed personality. Detective Ella Marconi is introduced to the couple after Chris is shot and their young son abducted. Running in the background is an investigation into police corruption. Sophie takes on her own investigation in a desperate attempt to get her son back. The story unfolds as the reader compares the official investigation, with that of the desperate parents. In consequent novels, there is good scope for character development.
