The Candidate's Daughter: A Gripping Thriller (An Elizabeth McClaine Thriller Book 1)
A stolen child. A grieving mother. And the political campaign that takes no prisoners.
The plan is simple: kidnap the daughter of Senate candidate Richard McClaine, take the money and run. Nobody gets hurt, the kid goes home alive.
Twenty-two-year-old car thief Kelsey Money thinks it's the worst scheme her boyfriend Matt and his drug-fueled brother have ever come up with. Then she discovers the part she wasn’t told - that six-year-old Holly isn’t going home alive. So, Kelsey makes a decision. It's one that'll tear her whole world apart. And once she starts, there's no going back.
Elizabeth McClaine can't even tell the police what her daughter was wearing when she disappeared. Soon after Holly was born with Down Syndrome and a cleft palate, she was placed in the care of a nanny while her mother battled postpartum depression. But when Elizabeth learns the detective on the case has already failed one kidnapped child, she vows not to fail hers.
The clock is ticking. Both women have twenty-four hours to find Holly because in twenty-five, she’ll be dead.
The Candidate's Daughter and its sequel Child of the State are additions to the great action and character-driven mystery and suspense thrillers in the tradition of J.D. Robb, Faye Kellerman, and Mary Higgins Clark.
