Nightmare in Manhattan

Nightmare in Manhattan follows the kidnapping of a young boy in New York City after he is separated from his mother in the crowded confusion surrounding Grand Central Terminal.

The story unfolds through shifting perspectives that follow both the investigators and the criminals, steadily building tension as the search narrows and the danger to the child increases. Set against the restless movement and anonymity of the city, the novel explores fear, desperation, and the pressure of time as multiple lives become entangled in a single terrifying crime.
