Ten-year-old Gracie Ann Brice is a soccer star. The ultimate tomboy, she can run faster and kick harder than any of the boys in her class. She knows how to take care of herself. But when her father comes to collect her from soccer practice one day, he is told by the coach that she's already left with her uncle. The only trouble is: Grace has no uncle. She has been kidnapped. Every parent's worst nightmare has become a reality for John and Elizabeth Brice. This mismatched couple - a computer geek and a high- powered lawyer - find their comfortable lives in pieces with Grace gone. They each handle the situation in their own way: John by trying to find a logical solution; Elizabeth by going out and busting some balls. However, it's Ben Brice, Grace's tough, ex-soldier grandfather, who's most hit by her disappearance - and it's him who goes on the road with John to get her back. And if he needs to break some bones to get her back, then that's what he'll do...Mark Gimenez is shaping up as a world-class storyteller, and this is a singular thriller. As addictively readable as Stephen King at his best, SAVING GRACE is simply unputdownable.
