Synopsis: New York Times-bestselling author: This thriller about a suburban mall taken hostage by a madman offers &“sheer edge-of-your-chair excitement&” (Wilmington News-Journal). The setting is The Yankee Green—an enormous shopping center and entertainment mall located in a suburb of Boston. A self-sufficient, environmentally controlled, electronically secure indoor city, The Yankee Green has tens of thousands of people pass through its five pavilions every day. The children play in the indoor amusement park; young professionals work out in the state-of-the-art health club and jog on the atrium&’s overhead running track; the elderly walk the promenades, sit on benches, chat under the fountains and in the manicured gardens. But in the labyrinth of service halls that are weaved into the superstructure lurks a demon, a madman with a grudge who plans to hold five thousand people hostage with hidden explosives . . . &“A fine thriller.&” —The Baltimore Sun &“[A] complex tale of greed, power and passion.&” —Indianapolis News Previously published as The Seizing of Yankee Green Mall
