A VERY GOOD READ!!!!!

Sydney Cooper is an ADA in Philadelphia. When her friend Lily Gilmore is kidnapped in front of her eyes she is determined to find Lily and discover what is going on. Lily is an investigative reporter.

Jake Sloan is an ex-DELTA force officer. Fourteen years ago he and Victor van Heusen left the force because Victor disobeyed orders. Jake was his buddy so he backed him up. Both were discharged. Jake felt betrayed by Victor. The FBI contacts Jake and asks his help catching Victor who has become an arms dealer.

Jakes father is dying of cancer and this brings Jake back to Philidelphia to try to reconcile with his father. Finding he is back in town Victor thinks to get in touch with him.

Syd lives across the hall from Jake's apt. She is following a lead left by Lily. Jake and Syd seem to be following separate trails but nothing is as it seems and all the leads combine to a startling climax. While Syd and Jake follow the leads they are also led into love. Very good book. Fantastic finish.

Entertaining Romantic Suspense

Ms Heggan has once again entertained me with her style of writing romantic suspenses. The story was well written, interesting, and moved at an enjoyable pace. Looking forward to what comes next.

Christiane Heggan does it again!!!

Christiane Heggan is simply AWESOME!
I've read every novel she's ever written and THE SEARCH is another winner. I was hooked from page one and read it in record time since I COULD NOT put it down. I can't wait until the next one!

What it lacks, makes up for with suspense

I only have one problem with this author's writing. The romantic dialog seems forced and very fake. The suspense, the story line and every other aspect of the book is wonderfully written, but she has not quite mastered how to create sexual tension with her main characters to where it builds into something more. I also think they need to show more feeling to why they might be falling in love. It just seems unrealistic. Other than that little detail, the book was very good and I look forward to reading more of her works.

Suspense at its Best!

I just finished this book last night and I am a little tired today because I literally could not put it down! It's just good storytelling without the need to get too sleazy (as in some other mystery books I've read lately.) I saw this book advertised in Soap Opera Digest and knew I had to give it a chance. Now, after this intense thriller, I am totally hooked on Heggan's work and plan to read her entire collection. Keep up the good work!

reviews: page 1, 2

When Philadelphia assistant district attorney Sydney Cooper gets an urgent late-night call from her best friend asking to meet her, she can't help but wonder what kind of trouble investigative journalist Lily Gilmore has gotten herself into this time. But exasperation soon turns to fear when she becomes the sole witness to her friend's brutal kidnapping. Knowing she cannot rely on local law enforcement, Sydney believes she's Lily's best hope for survival.

Armed with only her determination, Sydney delves deep into Lily's two latest high-profile cases--with shocking results. But when Jake Sloan, an enigmatic stranger, comes to her aid, Sydney slowly realizes that Lily's disappearance is more complicated than she ever imagined. In a perilous race against the clock, Jake and Sydney must uncover a kidnapper's motives. . .before the search is too late.
