In the latest installment of this author's Jack Swyteck series, Jonathan Davis gives an uplifting performance to an implausible plot. A homeless man, who has access to several hundred thousand dollars, kidnaps Swyteck's best friend, Theo, who is tough and streetwise and is, thus, an unlikely victim. Factor in a female police officer who is the mayor's daughter who, in turn, is in love with a blind hostage negotiator--and you have a smorgasbord of improbability. Davis to his credit, gives this melodrama a spirited reading in clear, authoritative tones. He's at his best when describing the kidnapping, the most exciting scene in the story.
