Terminal Impasses takes us into the negotiations between the NYPD and terrorists. Two potentially deadly twists - expert negotiator Gemma Capello and SWAT sniper Sean Logan are among the hostages, and the terrorists’ demands are time sensitive and impossible to meet. The book is intense and fast-paced as we watch the unfolding of this massive game of chess between terrorists and police, with Gemma posing as a business negotiator to assist. I was spellbound and fascinated - it was a hard book to put down!

The author is a master thriller writer, and Book 4 in her NYPD Negotiators series had me lost in the well-spun tale for hours. Isn't that what the best books do? In this case, I cared deeply about hostage negotiator Gemma Capello and detective Sean Logan, caught in an armed takeover of Grand Central Terminal while heading to a nearby restaurant. I read this gripping story in one sitting, and thank the author for giving me a welcome respite during a tough time in life. Brava, Sara Driscoll!
