FIRE WITH FIRE

Jay Aaseng takes an outstanding, edge-of-your-seat crime thriller and makes it even better with a pitch-perfect execution. He has a lot to work with in this unique story about distraught parents Ryan and Elsie Delaney, who take over a police crime lab and threaten to kill hostages and destroy key evidence if police fail to find their missing daughter, Tilly, in 24 hours. The many characters in this audiobook range from from the hard-bitten detectives to the policewoman who was fired on her first day on the job, and assorted cops and criminals. Aaseng makes them all seem human as rebel Detective Charlie Hoskins teams up with the recently fired rookie cop, Lynette Lamb, to do the impossible: find Tilly or her body.
