Deadly Stillwater

Deadly Stillwater, where Mac McRyan is confronted with the kidnapping of Shannon Hisle, taken in a brazen daylight attack outside a restaurant on one of St. Pauls busiest streets. And Shannon Hisle isnt just anyone. Shes the only daughter of St. Pauls most prominent, successful and politically connected lawyer. Mac knows that every political lever will be pulled, that the FBI will be coming in, that the St. Paul Mayor, not his biggest fan, will be scrutinizing his every move and that the media storm will be every bit as intense as the heat wave blazing the Twin Cities. Whats more, while all of the signs point to a straightforward kidnapping for ransom, Macs instincts tell him otherwise, especially after the kidnappers call just hours after the abduction and skip the ransom demand. Why not ask for the ransom? he wonders. While everyone assumes the ransom demand will come soon enough, the failure to make the demand gives Mac pause, and for good reason. For the Hisle abduction is just the beginning in a case of betrayal and revenge sixteen years in the making that will ultimately strike at the heart and soul of the St. Paul Police Department.
