Summary: A Terrific Political Eye-opener
Comment: Forty-eight-year-old, second-term U.S. Attorney General Allison Leahy is the Democratic candidate for the presidency. She's opposed by Lincoln Howe, an African-American retired Army general and hero of several wars, including Vietnam and Desert Storm.
Eight years prior to her run for the presidency, Leahy's adopted four-month-old daughter was kidnapped and never found. Now, in the heat of the campaign's closing weeks, Lincoln Howe's granddaughter is kidnapped, and Leahy is forced to direct the FBI's hunt for the girl.
As the voter's sympathy moves to Howe, Leahy's commanding lead shrinks and in just a few days she's several points behind. Then, as the FBI operation moves forward to recover Howe's granddaughter, it begins to look like someone has orchestrated the abduction to benefit one of the campaigns. But which one?
I was up all night reading this book and I'll have to say that if somehow you've managed to survive the last couple of presidential elections without learning about the dirty tricks, lies, deceit and dishonesty that permeates the route to America's top job, well you'll get a full dose in this book. "The Abduction" is not only a terrific thriller, but a terrific eye-opener as well.

Summary: Another good read by Grippando
Comment: I have read 6 out of 8 books by this author and he hasn't disappointed me so far. This book has an interesting plot including two minorities like me running for President of the United States. This novel has a good suspense on who was/were behind the abduction/kidnapping and which side (party) is/are the suspect/suspects on: Leahy's or Howe's? You probably won't be able to figure out who's involved in the criminal act/acts or keep second-guessing it like I did unless you are lucky. :)
Rating: 4
Summary: Definitely not Grippando's best. But not bad either
Comment: I don't believe Grippando is capable of producing novels which are a total waste. However, I've read all of his work and consider this one to be the weakest link. It seemed overly saturated with politics and had a very brief ending considering the overall length of the novel. There were some intense moments that make this novel worth reading.
