We’ve got your daughter.
It's evening, you're back late from work – and the house is in darkness.
You step inside, and the phone rings. You answer it - and your world turns upside down.
Your fourteen-year-old daughter's been taken, and her kidnappers demand half a million pounds in cash. They give you 48 hours to raise the money, and warn you that if you call the police, she'll die.
Trying desperately to remain calm, you realise that your husband – the man you married only two years previously – is also missing.
But he can't be involved in your daughter's abduction. Or can he?
As your nightmare begins, you can be certain of only two things: that you will do anything to get your daughter back alive - and that time is running out...

have read all your books from relentless after it was reviewed on tv. absolutely brilliat stories that have a real fast pace and really immerse you in the story so you really feel a part of it. really looking forward to getting target and hoping to find your first four books! i wasn't really a thriller reader until i read relentless and i couldn't put it down, i was totally hooked from the first page and it's been that way for each of your books i read. simon kernick has a rare talent in being able to totally immerse you into the story. if you haven't read his books yet go and find one in your nearest bookshop and feel a part of the action! A CRACKING READ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Deadline was the first book by Simon Kernick I'd read, and I loved it. I hardly put it down, and read it in a very short space of time. That was a few weeks ago, since then, Ive been been working my way through Kernick's other books, and each one is a gem. I really cant recommend his books enough.

Another fantastic read! I read relentless last summer and have been meaning to get another. It took only 24 hours for me to read relentless, but this took longer, I need to go and get all the others now! I love how the stories interlink common characters!

The third book of Simon Kernick, I have read. It is extremely good, however, I must say I was slightly disappointed by it, after reading Relentless and Severed. Still has a very good plot and is an addictive book to read.

I've never been so saddened when turning the last page of a book! You get so involved in the story and the characters within it! This book is utter genius, if you have not read this book - or any of Simon's books for that matter. I must say you are one deprived indivdual! Such an impeccable read! Can't wait to start "Target!"

Having not been a massive book fan I finally decided to start reading. My father in law lent me a number of books, this being one of them. This is the first one I picked up and from the very first page I was hooked, having a read at every available oppurtunity. Great story, great characters, i'll definately be reading other books by Simon Kernick
