The Game by Scott Kershaw (HQ)

Five strangers find themselves in a dangerous pursuit to save their kidnapped loved ones. Welcome to the game, do not involve the police, obey the rules and try to win. Suspicion is on the rise, challenges dark and horrendous. The world can be cruel, and its cruelty is usually pointless. Who is behind this mortal game and why were they chosen to play?

I've read the book in one evening and been pleasantly surprised that the plot is believable, concise and different in comparison with the other "cookie-cutter" thrillers these days. It is unique, cinematic and fast-paced. The characters are very well developed, issues current, and I am looking forward to another book from Scott Kershaw.

Unputdownable and thrilling page-turner.

Highly recommended.
