Touch and Go / Lisa Gardner / 423 pages

"Pain has a flavor but hope does too."  Libby Denbe's world has fallen apart - twice.  She discovered that her wealthy, construction company owning husband has been cheating on her.  They are in the midst of an attempted reconciliation, when Libby and Justin return from a date night and the entire family is tazed and kidnapped.  What follows is simply harrowing and horrifying.  Investigator Tessa Leone races against the clock questioning multiple suspects in a desperate push to save the family.  This is a tense, gripping, psychologically significant expose of a family in conflict both from within and without.  I usually can't figure out the villain, but suspected this one almost from the beginning.
