Description:

Greg Iles's novels have been praised for their unusual depth of characterization and complexity of plot, and *The Quiet Game* was no exception. Reviewers called it "beautifully crafted" (*The Providence Sunday Journal*), "heartbreakingly honest" (*Cleveland Plain Dealer*), and simply "a grand thriller with a wonderful Southern seasoning" (*The Orange County Register*). In *24 Hours*, Iles takes readers on a daringly executed roller-coaster ride with enough twists and surprises to last a lifetime. *24 Hours* begins with the perfect family. On the perfect night. About to become trapped in the perfect crime. Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a five-year-old daughter he loves beyond measure. But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath who may be a genius. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes at the heart of every family's unspoken fear: the unstoppable kidnapping. But this man has never met the likes of Will and Karen Jennings. "Here is a major talent strutting his considerable stuff."-*The Denver Post* (review of *The Quiet Game*)
