No one could have imagined the crazy, twisted sort of domino effect that would occur on the day that the doctor gave Kenny Drummond the news of his death sentence. There is a cancerous tumor in his brain that is aggressively growing. In short, it is killing him and he only has a very few weeks left on this earth.
Kenny is used to bad news and bad things happening to him. His entire life has been like that except for his ex-wife Mary and his best friend Stever. He still loves them both dearly even though they are now married to each other. They are both his best friends in the world and they will take the news hard. He has to tell them soon, but for now, he wants to make up a list of people that he feels he needs to make things right with.
It was a short list and the last person on it is Carrie Barton, the girl who had made his sad existence when he was a child just a little easier and happier. He never got to tell her how much she meant to him and he really wants to do that before he died. Finding her after all these years proves to be harder than he imagined. It seems that Carrie went missing four years earlier and was never found. Her husband Jonathan had been a suspect in her disappearance for a long time, but with no proof, they have not been able to arrest him. This is all very useful information to him because it is clear how he can make things "right" for Carrie.
He must find out what happened to her and insure that she gets justice. The first place to start is her husband and Kenny is a man with nothing to lose.
CAPTURED is highly engrossing book. It's almost like watching something so horribly personal that you are ashamed for the inability to look away. Kenny Drummond is one of the most memorable characters in recent memory. The actions he undertakes to discover what really happened to Carrie will make your jaw drop and keep your brain struggling to process everything that is happening.
With CAPTURED, Neil Cross has dropped his readers into a world of reality that is almost too hard to take at times, but is always, always mesmerizing. I was hooked from the first page and could not let go as more twists and turns kept me as breathless as if I was on a roller coaster. If you enjoy well-written, chilling stories that will make you reach for several light switches while reading, do yourself a favor and get a copy of CAPTURED as soon as possible!
