Going Gone! by Anita Dickason is a political thriller, a story involving a gang of abductors and two skilled detectives. A group of bad guys have decided to kidnap the kids of top political officials in Capitol Hill. When ex-homicide detective Kerry Branson happens to rescue one of the kids, troubles start for her. She becomes a hunted person, hunted by unforgiving men who seem to know every move she makes. As she struggles to reconnect with the FBI agent Tracker Ryan Barr, she knows she is being watched. But connecting with Ryan only amplifies the conflict as both of them become embroiled in a deadly fight with an adversary that is as ruthless as they are determined. Can Ryan and Kerry stay a step ahead of the thugs and locate the abducted children before they fall prey to the deadly machinations of the bad guys?

The shift in points of view is brilliant, and the author always leaves the reader at the end of each chapter wondering what will happen next; she always leaves the reader with a burning question in mind, which compels them to read further. The story starts with a powerful warning, featuring a character that is described as terribly afraid, and the plot becomes very intriguing from the beginning. The writing is remarkable, punctuated with powerful and emotionally charged scenes, awesome dialogues and intense action. Anita Dickason has the particular gift of making readers feel her story through the excellent use of descriptive prose and intelligent dialogues. The plot is sophisticated and so are the characters, and the reader is left with no choice but to keep on turning the pages. Going Gone! is a page-turner, a story with well-developed literary elements, but the suspense was biting — all the time.

Kerry never would have guessed that a simple weekend visit to her best friend could get her embroiled in one of the most dangerous missions of her entire life. But that chance visit leads to her discovery of a little boy who changes absolutely everything. When Kerry finds herself embroiled in a plot to kidnap the children of some of the country’s most influential lawmakers, she’s also thrown into a totally new team. But can a private investigative firm, a new branch of the FBI, and a few ex-military men track down the children and those responsible before they disappear permanently? Going Gone! by Anita Dickason will answer that question, and more.
