Coming Soon: Jan 23

There are not many books coming out next week that interested me, but there is one that looks like it could be good. The author used to write scrips for television before he decided to follow his dream and become a novelist.

Taken, is a kidnapping story. When the son of a wealthy industrialist is kidnapped police tell his mother that it was all a fake. Her son faked his own kidnapping in order to get money so him and his girlfriend could get married.
The mother of his girlfriend reads an ad in a magazine about Cole and Pike and hires them to look into the kidnapping and find her daughter. They soon discover it was not fake and the two have been taken by human traffickers. Cole goes undercover into the dangerous world to find them, but is also taken prisoner by the deadly bajadore, a group of criminals, and into the hands of a killer known as The Syrian. Now it is up to Pike to retrace Cole's steps to rescue the two kids and his partner.
