Takeover by Lisa Black
Forensic Scientist Theresa MacLean is investigating a grisly murder when she gets word that her fiance has been taken hostage with seven others in a bank robbery. The police have brought in Cleveland's best negotiator. High-profile Chris Cavanaugh hasn't lost a victim yet, but Theresa wonders if he might be too arrogant to save the day this time around. She must use all her wiles, experience, and techinical skill to get control of this crisis before the body count peaks. "Takeover is a riveting hostage drama packed with surprises. Once Lisa Black gets you inside the bank, you--like the bad guys--won't be able to stop." -- Peter Abrahams
"...that rare combination of authentic detail and good story-telling..." -- Jeff Lindsay
Lisa Black spent the happiest five years of her life in a morgue, as a forensic scientist at the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office, until her husband moved them to Cape Coral, Florida. Now she works as a latent print/crime scene examiner for the local PD. Lisa is a member of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists, the International Assoc. for Identification, and the International Assoc. of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts.
