Nancy Hardman cannot believe what is written on the note in
her locker at the fitness club. Her daughter, Beth, has
been kidnapped with the only stipulation being that Nancy
is not to tell anyone except her husband, Michael. But
Nancy has no idea where her freelance charity worker
husband is located. He never tells her where he's going
when he leaves. She's left with no other choice but to use
the phone number Michael gave her to contact if anything
unusual happened. Nancy's call sets in motion a Code Red
situation at Cruxys Solutions, a world leader in the
security and risk assessment field.
Michael's freelance charity work abroad makes for long
absences. He puts duty to others above himself and his
family -- off doing his righteous deeds, leaving his family
members to fend for themselves. Nancy submissively believes
in Michael, accepting his absences without question. She
trusts him implicitly, but just who is he, really? The
shocking answer to that has far-reaching repercussions, and
everyone involved in the kidnapping investigation is at
risk.
What happens when a life depends on locating a person who
does not seem to exist? Author Adrian Magson
cleverly handles that question in THE LOCKER, a stunning
psychological thriller. His writing expertise easily
cultivates the complex plot as he breathes life into flawed
characters handling an impossible situation.
You’re at your usual locker at Fitness Plus. The time is
9:15. Your cell phone is dead, your home phone won’t answer
and your daughter, Beth, is alone with her nanny.
It will take you eighteen minutes to get home. If you drive
fast.
Shame. You’re already eighteen minutes late . . .
The kidnappers' only stipulation is that Nancy must tell
her
husband, Michael.
Her only problem is, she doesn't know where he is. But she
recalls him mentioning a number she must call if anything
unusual happens. This triggers a Code Red at specialist
security company Cruxys Solutions, who send investigators
Ruth Gonzales and Andy Vaslik to track him down.
But they can't find a single trace of him.
What do you do when a child’s life depends on finding a man
who doesn't seem to exist?
