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.
Customer Reviews
Intriguing story, BUT….
Whoever proofread this prior to publishing should be fired! How do words disappear then pop up willy-nilly in following paragraphs? Would have rated this 5-star because the story enthralled me but just couldn’t get past the editing debacle.
Thirteen Days in Milan
I loved this book!
I am mainly a fan of Jack Erickson’s whodunits, but I thoroughly enjoyed this international thriller—and I actually learned a great deal about Italy and its history in the process! This is a gripping book about an American family swept up in a crisis while in Italy.
Jack Erickson is masterful in his uncanny ability to get inside the psyche of a fanatical terrorist, Fabio, as well as that of a sweet ten-year-old girl, Angela. The characters in Thirteen Days come to life immediately, and soon you notice that they have started to live in your heart. I was especially touched by the personal transformation of Sylvia, Angela’s mother, who is kidnapped. This book reminds us of the inspirational truth that traumatic events can indeed have gifts for us if we’re open to that possibility.
This is the kind of book that you find yourself thinking about long after you finish it. Jack Erickson has written another winner. Don’t miss this one!
