Quote:
A perfectly planned and orchestrated bank heist, suddenly turns into a deadly siege…
Unable to control the hostages, a woman starts to scream.
In the midst of this chaos, a silent alarm is triggered causing the criminals to be surrounded by the local police force.
With no option but to surrender, the mastermind behind the robbery has one last idea to ensure success.
During the aftermath, Bill Steen, a worker at the bank, discovers the deceit.
Hiding in plain view, the missing money is within his grasp.
At home, his wife is battling with severe asthma which regularly requires hospitalisation.
The cure? Relocate to a new home, ideally abroad, clear of the inner city smog.
Bill is tempted. But is the temptation enough to expedite his lifelong dream to relieve his wife of her suffering?
It will certainly cost him his conscience, potentially a lengthy prison sentence and maybe even his life.
But it would save hers…
And Bill can’t stop himself wondering – which choice is the right one?
Hostage to Death is a thrilling crime novel, complete with surprising twists in every chapter.
