Zusammenfassung

What would you do if you were kidnapped and held captive whilst heavily pregnant? Would you submit, or would you subvert?

Lisbeth Salander meets Pierre Lemaitre's Alex in this original debut thriller with a heroine like no other.

The Method Zusammenfassung

The Method: Kidnapped? Helpless? Looks can be deceiving... Shannon Kirk

They thought she was the victim, but they're the ones in danger . . .

Imagine a helpless, pregnant 16-year-old who's just been yanked from the serenity of her home and shoved into a dirty van. Kidnapped . . . Alone . . . Terrified.

Now forget her . . .

Picture instead a pregnant, 16-year-old, manipulative prodigy. She is shoved into a dirty van and, from the first moment of her kidnapping, feels a calm desire for two things: to save her unborn son and to exact merciless revenge.

She is methodical - calculating - scientific in her plotting. Leaving nothing to chance, she waits . . . for the perfect moment to strike. The Method is what happens when the victim is just as cold as the captors.

The Method Bewertungen

'It's hard to find true originality these days, but this debut delivers, dicing the genre before blending it just to be sure. The characters are beautifully detailed . . . ' * Alastair Gunn, author of The Advent Killer and My Bloody Valentine *
'Completely original and totally kick ass! Shannon Kirk pulls no punches in this adrenaline rush of a thriller where the victim is the one to watch, while the kidnappers learn to fear. Loved it!' * Lisa Gardner *

'A dark, disturbing, damnably readable novel . . . a worthy challenge, a joy to discuss and a great pairing with John Katzenback's equally riveting What Comes Next' * Booklist, Starred Review *
'The Method is crowded with fascinating characters - but the standout is the kidnapped pregnant teenager. Her captors want her baby. Little do they know they've brought an insanely brilliant, angry, vengeful, borderline sociopath under their roof. Somebody's in big trouble . . . and it isn't the teenager' * F Paul Wilson, New York Times Bestselling Author *
'The Method by Shannon Kirk has an extraordinary plot as well as an extraordinary character . . . Make sure you have some extra time as you start this unusual and suspenseful novel. It is darn hard to put down' * Book Loons *
