Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with 800 lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this man?

Summary
Jack and Melissa McGuane have spent years trying to have a baby. Finally their dream has come true with the adoption of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call from the adoption agency: Angelina's birth father, a teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will use every advantage his position of power affords him to make sure it happens.
When Jack and Melissa attempt to handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that there's something sinister about both of them and that love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions.
As Angelina's safety hangs in the balance, Jack and Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no one is safe. How far would you go to save someone you love?

Missing Joe Pickett
The plot was a little hard to swallow. The excess violence was a distraction from the story. Seeing the "good guys" cross the line so many times was disheartening. Sometimes gritty realism is hard to take.

Spiralling Out Of Control
It’s all too much.
A couple discovers they have to give up their adopted baby because the birth father did not sign away his parental rights. Interesting premise. Then it all falls apart.
Don’t worry, no spoilers here: The birth father turns out to be a teenager – but not any kind of teenager; a dark brooding teenager. But not any kind of dark brooding teenager; a dark brooding teenager who doesn’t “get along with dogs”, has a suspicious past, has gang ties and is the son of a judge. But not any kind of judge; a super powerful Federal judge. But not any kind of super powerful Federal judge; a sinister super powerful Federal judge with secrets to hide…
The psycho-teen taunts and spooks the family with his strange behaviours, warning them that they had to “keep him happy” or he won’t sign the papers saying things like “I own you now”…
So, the parents decide to “do everything they can to save their child”, start their own investigation and high octane action ensues, twists and turns and murders and intrigue and double crosses…ARGH! ENOUGH! it was just too over-the-top for me.

Another excellent C.J Book
Ive read most of Boxes books and they are all really good. He is true to form on this one. Very exciting. I think a little slower pacec than his Joe Joe Pickitt novels but he is also tackling a little more serious and issue. Solid suspens novel.

Couldn't stop listening.
As soon as I figured out the story, I didn't want to listen to it, knowing that the subject matter would break my heart. But, I couldn't stop, and the story didn't disappoint. This book was riveting.

Not Saying Goodbye
Loving all of C.J. Box's series about Joe Pickett I did not know what to expect with this stand alone. Well, I loved it and could not stop listening to it. I have added John Bedford Lloyd to favorite narrrator status for myself.

C.J. Box what did you do???O
Would you try another book from C. J. Box and/or John Bedford Lloyd?
I will only read a Joe Pickett book, apparently C.J. Box can only create a sympathetic/lovable character in the Joe Pickett character.
Any additional comments?
I would rather go to the dentist than to listen to this book again.

Violent
When Jack and Melissa adopt Angelina, they feel their lives have been completed until one Saturday morning Jack receives a strange call from the adoption agency. It seems the birth father didn't sign the papers after all and he's the son of a high ranking, sitting Federal judge. Their lives turn upsidedown and Jack, with his friends Brian and Cody attempt to get Garrett to sign the papers or find "something" on the judge to prevent them from taking Angelina away. The book touches on some of the problems in the US adoption laws, which can be devastating for some adoptive parents, as the book shows. But CJ Box throws in a mystery and Angelina is in the center of all of it. As the plot unravels, the book becomes very violent. A lot of killing goes on. Bodies are hidden and never found. Jack also engages in some of the violence and the listener finds that to fall outside of his character. So it becomes confusing and you never decide if a man that could get as involved in the violence as Jack does should even have a child. But yet you're not sure if he's just caught up in it or not. I think the problem here is that CJ Box doesn't accurately protray the parental bonding between Jack and Angelina which is the vehicle by which we are to excuse his actions. That part is not well done. There is a lot of action. The plot keeps moving and has twists and turns. There is sufficient information so that the reader can solve the mystery and if you pay attention, you can solve it just past the halfway point and watch to see if the characters come up with it. The reader is very good and I was impressed with his range of voices since there are a lot of characters. As with other Box novels, the ending is not laden with fairy tale drippings. Even the good characters suffer consequences. The violence, however, is overdone.

A struggle to the end.
I wish there was a minus one star rating, which is more appropriate for this book. Naive, unbelievable characters doing silly things with a slow moving, frustrating plot. I tried to make it to the end, but struggled.

A Disappointing; Not a Joe Pickett character
Having read all of C J Box’s books and truly enjoyed them all, especially the Joe Pickett Series I found this this “novel” both disappointing and a bit disgusting. The “hero” is a self-righteous father who with his life long friends proceed to basically become violent vigilantes. Even though the hero (father) and his wife are sympathetic (they adopted a baby several months previous and are ordered to give her up to the birth father) they are determined to keep the baby.
There is excessive violence and abuse of the law that seems to be acceptable in the end, which I found disturbing. If this had been my first of Box’s books, it would have been my last and I’d never have found my love of the rest of his books, which I’ve grown to love over the past years
If you enjoy vigilantism and violence, this is the book for you. I almost wish I’d read the previous reader’s reviews though they are rather varied and I’d probably have read it anyway.
I definitely will not read it again.
