<DIV>Greg Iles's novels have been praised for their unusual depth of characterization and complexity of plot, and <b>The Quiet Game</b> was no exception. Reviewers called it "beautifully crafted" (<b>The Providence Sunday Journal</b>), "heartbreakingly honest" (<b>Cleveland Plain Dealer</b>), and simply "a grand thriller with a wonderful Southern seasoning" (<b>The Orange County Register</b>). In <b>24 Hours</b>, Iles takes readers on a daringly executed roller-coaster ride with enough twists and surprises to last a lifetime. <p> <b>24 Hours</b> begins with the perfect family. On the perfect night. About to become trapped in the perfect crime. Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a five-year-old daughter he loves beyond measure. But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath who may be a genius. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes at the heart of every family's unspoken fear: the unstoppable kidnapping. <p> But this man has never met the likes of Will and Karen Jennings.</DIV>
