Eventually she escaped, so did her captors, and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. That was two decades ago.

And finally, the FBI have a lead – one that’s not only linked to Patricia’s kidnapping but also to another cold case. The suitcase and the painting both point to WHL3 … Windsor Horne Lockwood III. Win, as he’s called by his friends, has no idea who the suitcase and his family’s stolen painting ended up in this dead man’s apartment. But the case has certainly captured his interest, particularly when he discovers the man who kidnapped his cousin Patricia is the same person behind an act of domestic terrorism. Both cases have baffled the FBI for twenty years. But Win has three things the FBI doesn’t … a personal connection to the case, a large fortune, and his own unique brand of justice. Harlan Coben cetainly gets the adrenalin going, there are loads of twists and turns and Win keeps you gripped from first page to last. Available from exclusivebooks.co.za
