Allison is reminded of the fact that Emily, her baby daughter, was kidnapped while she was at home talking on the phone. But the campaign really heats up when General Howe’s granddaughter is kidnapped. Howe thinks he has found it when he asks a question about adultery in a debate and Allison refuses to answer based on her principles and the thought that the question was entirely out of line. Her opponent General Lincoln Howe is a black candidate running a close race with Allison. Allison is currently in a campaign to be elected President of the United States. Maybe because no one could imagine a hot race for the office of President of the United States between a black man with a military background and a successful woman except in fiction.Īllison Leahy is Attorney General of the United States. I checked Amazon and read the Publisher’s Weekly review printed at the time of publication. Originally published in 1998 it is most timely today.

The Abduction is a very exciting book and full of suspense. Written in 1998 about a campaign for President of the United States featuring a woman running for office. They never seem to catch my attention.Ī great book and very timely. I don't really understand politics to much. The parts i didn't like were the politics. I loved the mystery involved and how the characters must come together and find the little girl. I liked some parts of the book but not all. Why did he put a little girl at danger to describe how far a man can be pushed before he loses everything? I would like to ask him why he picked a subject like politics to base this book around. He opened me up to the more dangerous side of playing an important part in this country. James Grippando is a great writer and he made me see politics from a different view. I normally care nothing about politics, I don't pay attention to debates and sometimes lose track of who our president is. This book made me feel for the characters, it made me wish i could help them in some way. The men want want money in return for General Howe's granddaughter but the once great leader of the army has to much on his plate with his presidential campaign. Some men go as far as to kidnap a young girl to ruin one mans race to run the nation. The Abduction is a 502 page book about the scandals of politics. Then the nation is struck with the biggest manhunt ever. In The Abduction toward the end of October the nation faces a first, they can either vote for the first female or the first African American president. My favorite types of books are books about crimes that have you at the edge of your seat the whole time. It leaves you asking questions and wanting answers.
