THE LOCKER

Suspense

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.

SUMMARY

Hello, Nancy. Youโ€™re at your usual locker at Fitness Plus. The time is 9:15. Your cell phone is dead, your home phone wonโ€™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. Youโ€™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 childโ€™s life depends on finding a man who doesn't seem to exist?
