Publisher Description
Sylvia de Matteo, an American single mother, is taken hostage by terrorists during a political assassination at Stazione Centrale, Milan's train station. She is seized at gunpoint and thrown into the back of a van.
Moments later, a Paris-bound train with Sylvia's fiancé and ten-year-old daughter aboard departs Centrale without Sylvia. The terrorists drive Sylvia to a warehouse where she is imprisoned in a cell.
When the terrorists discover Sylvia's father is a wealthy Wall Street investment banker, they demand a ransom for her safe release.

Ebook Failure
There are two dimensions to this book; on the whole it is an engaging story but I found the intermittent and inconsistent use of Italian dialogue, with English translations in brackets, an unnecessary distraction.
However, my chief complaint is the appalling formatting of the book. To paraphrase an expression that will be familiar to U.K. readers, all the right words were there but not necessarily in the right order. Add to this a tendency to merge multiple words without spaces, insert spaces in single words and amalgamate dialogue so that character conversations become a muddle. The combination of these flaws makes reading this book a challenge.
It is very unusual to encounter a book with 400 pages of formatting errors and disappointing that the publisher has not seen fit to correct these.
