When Kit
“Kick” Lannigan was six years old, she became the unwanted star of an Amber
Alert. Five years after her abduction
the FBI rescued the tweener from her “caring” capturer. Over a decade since her liberation, Kick
remains emotionally damaged and particularly loathes the reminders of the worst
moments of her life: her mom who still uses her bestselling memoir re the
kidnapping for fame and fortune, and the high internet traffic into her
life. Her only friend remains James who
shared her childhood kidnapping as a fellow victim of the same adult.
Residing in Portland, Oregon twentyish Kick obsesses over child
abductions with a powerful need to rescue the kidnapped kids. Private security agent John Bishop asks Kick
to assist him find and rescue missing Adam Rice and Mia Turner. Hesitantly she agrees; though this means for
her to envision what Adam and Mia face returning to a time and place when she
answered to the name of Beth.
As the dysfunctional dance partners Archie
Sheridan and Gretchen Lowell obtain a breather, Chelsea Cain begins a new
suspense series starring a kick butt heroine who has cause for her damaged
psyche. The riveting taut storyline
mesmerizes the audience especially the harrowing dysfunctional Stockholm
Syndrome relationship between Kick and her childhood kidnapper, and an
astonishing exposé into child porn. One
Kick will be on the short lists as 2014 best suspense thriller.
