Product Description
A trio of desperate convicts has hijacked a bus carrying a group of deaf and mute schoolgirls who are now being held hostage in a disused slaughterhouse. FBI agent Arthur Potter is flown in to negotiate with the men, as are local police, state troopers, politicians and the media. Not everyone has the same agenda. And the killers will kill one innocent child an hour, on the hour, until their demands are met.
Reviews:
lotuscandy (United Kingdom) (2008/03/12): ONE OF DEAVER'S BEST. REFRESHING IN THAT ONE OF THE PROTAGONISTS IS FEMALE, YOUNG, AND HEARING-IMPARED. THE OTHER ONE IS A COMPELLING HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR:
THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS AT NOON WHEN TWO TEACHERS FROM A SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND THEIR STUDENTS STOP TO HELP AT A CAR CRASH ON AN ISOLATED ROAD AND ARE IMMEDIATELY CAPTURED BY THREE ESCAPED CONVICTS. STARK AGAINST THE PRAIRIE STANDS AN ANCIENT SLAUGHTERHOUSE THAT STILL REEKS OF DECADES OF SPILLED BLOOD. IT IS HERE THAT THE COLD KILLER LOU HANDY WILL BRING HIS HOSTAGES. IT IS HERE THAT HE WILL KILL ONE INNOCENT GIRL AN HOUR, ON THE HOUR, UNTIL HIS DEMANDS ARE MET.
