Mystery Amateur Sleuth
It's the coup of his career--until the unthinkable
happens.
Todd Mills, Minneapolis's only openly gay
journalist, is getting ready for what promises to be an
explosive television event: an exclusive interview with
Congressman Johnny Clariton, a conservative whose vehement
opposition to gay rights and AIDS research has fueled his
rapid political ascent.
But coup turns to chaos
when Todd's interview is abruptly ended by three gun-
wielding kidnappers--an unlikely trio of domestic
terrorists in the final stages of AIDS. With Todd as
their conduit to a global audience, the abductors are
willing to risk what's left of their lives to give violent
expression to their AIDS rage.
Their goal: to make
the world know what it's like to live--and die--with
AIDS.
Their weapons: a video camera, a hostage, and
a syringe full of blood.
While the increasingly
desperate events play out on television for the world to
see, Todd's relationship with homicide investigator Steve
Rawlins is dragged into the fray, throwing the
unsuspecting Rawlins--still grieving over the recent end
of his closest friend's long struggle with AIDS--on a
collision course with the kidnappers. And as television
reporter, cop, and the FBI all continue their hunt for the
terrorists, the tension builds to a heart-wrenching,
tragic climax.
Unsettling, unpredictable and
unapologetic, Hostage is Zimmerman's darkest and
most suspenseful tale yet, a bold step forward for this
acclaimed and widely popular series.
