Library Journal

Debbie Morris discovers a ticking bomb on an upper floor of the 30-story Icon International Building in downtown New Orleans-but not in enough time to evacuate her daughter, Ashley, before it explodes. In the frantic rush for the staircases, attorney Jill Clark Nichols meets up with Ashley, and they help each other survive. Knowing that his wife, Jill, was meeting with the CEO of Icon, Newpointe firefighter Dan Nichols rushes to the scene, where he is seriously wounded in the rescue mission. The fifth entry in Blackstock's "Newpointe 911" series (after Trial by Fire) provides imperfect but likable characters in a suspenseful story laced with current events. Did terrorists plant the bomb? Or was it a more insidious plot by CEO Donald Merritt to avoid prosecution for Enron-like corporate crimes? Fans of Blackstock's numerous series offerings (including "Cape Refuge" and "Seasons") will want this capable thriller. Recommended for public libraries. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
