The Taken

A single dad leaves his daughter in the hands of a trusted relative. Now, both are missing.

Three years after his wife's death, Jonah reluctantly returns to the shark tank world of dating. The evening has exceeded all expectations: an interesting conversation with an attractive woman, excellent food, and excellent wine. Life is good again.

What Jonah doesn't know is that his nanny has just abducted his eleven-year-old daughter--to Russia.

Jonah's live-in nanny is his ex-sister-in-law, a survivor of war crimes in her homeland Chechnya. Soon, Lilia's lingering trauma and desire for revenge will drive her along a path of deceit that threatens to shred the fabric of her family.

Jonah and his long-time friend and newfound romantic interest, Meghan, pursue Lilia to Moscow, across the Russian countryside, and eventually into the heart of rebel territory controlled by Lilia's father. Standing between Jonah and Raven are corrupt embassy staff, Chechen rebel fighters, and the Russian Army.

Will Jonah and Meghan find Raven before Lilia gives in to her darkest thoughts? What drives Lilia's deep-seated hatred of Jonah? If you enjoy suspense-filled psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the last page, you'll love The Taken.
