Aaron Elkins has been hailed as "a master" (The Dallas
Morning News) for his Edgar(r) Award-winning Gideon Oliver
mysteries. Now, in an original new novel, he illustrates how
quickly everything can go wrong when you ask: What's the
worst that can happen? For Bryan Bennett, designing hostage
negotiation programs is the perfect job-as long as he keeps
a safe, theoretical distance. What he can't do is deal
directly with kidnappers or their victims, as a result of
his own abduction and imprisonment as a small boy. Thirty-some years later, intense nightmares still plague his
sleep, and a fear of enclosed spaces prevents him from
attempting to travel. So when Bryan's boss asks him to fly
to Reykjavik, Iceland, to teach his corporate-level
kidnapping and extortion seminar, he automatically says no. But the CEO of GlobalSeas Fisheries, Inc. has specifically
requested Bryan-or no one else. Bryan finally relents... For
decades he's treaded gingerly around the edges of his
deepest terrors. Now, on this trip, Bryan's taken hostage
again and must face his fears full-on. Will he realize that
in this battle of will and nerve, he is his own greatest
enemy? Or has this fight already been lost, years and years ago?
