Home from college for the summer, Connor is upstairs, listening to his parents argue, when a windowless van pulls up on the front yard and a masked man charges into the house. He knocks out Connor's father, tasers his mother, and then, as quick as he came, he is gone.
The police quickly exhaust their leads. No ransom call comes. And Connor takes it upon himself to find his parents before it is too late. That quest, however, is complicated when he crosses paths with a group of anarchists bent on causing chaos in New York City. And their plan, Connor learns, is not only related to the abductions, it will also upend everything he thought he knew about his family.

That was the first message Ion had sent when Connor tried to hack his machine. CHAPTER 1

The author asked me to read this because I read and enjoyed another book, The Redwood Con. The blurb intrigued me, so I decided to give it a shot. I loved the way the book opens with a dramatic flair, so much happens with so little information or reason why, the best way to open a thriller if you ask me. I had to keep reading to work it all out. This is everything you need from a thriller; well written, fast paced, plenty of twists / turns and ups and downs, intrigue and suspense. The more Connor probed into the truth about what happened the more questions and uncertainties he had. I enjoyed this. It looks like this is the first book in a series, so I look forward to finding out what Connor gets up to next.
