"In this new page-turner from acclaimed suspense novelist John
Gilstrap, a childless couple crosses paths with a lost boy -- and
find themselves on the run from his deadly kidnappers."
Bobby and Susan Martin want nothing more than to have a child of
their own, the blessing that would make their marriage whole. Never
did they dream that a restorative camping trip would change their
lives forever -- when a tiny, filthy, freezing young boy dashes out
of the woods near their campsite. The boy's violent kidnappers
quickly come for him -- and in a chaotic, explosive moment, the
Martins appear to be drawn into an unthinkable crime: the brutal
murder of a police officer.
Now Bobby, Susan, and the eerily quiet young boy must stay one
step ahead of a vicious crime ring, and are unsure whether they can
trust the police -- or if they were responsible for the death of
one of their brethren. As the couple desperately plunges into the
heart of danger to save themselves and the boy, deep emotions about
their failed pregnancies come to the surface. Even if Bobby and
Susan figure a way out of their spiraling circumstances, will they
be able to surrender this child who has come into their lives and,
in his own way, filled a painful chasm in their marriage?
A galvanizing story of kinapping, murder, mystery and love, a
page-turner that builds to a heart-stopping climax, John Gilstrap's
gripping new novel enhances his reputation as one of the most
ingenious and innovatiove of contemporary thriller writers. His
works explore original territory, with characters that are
refreshingly complex and aren't soon forgotten. "Even Steven" is a
top-notch work of suspense fiction.
