Hostage (2001) by Robert Crais is a high-octane thriller that marks a bold departure from the author’s Elvis Cole series, delivering a standalone novel of claustrophobic tension and moral complexity. This gripping tale follows Jeff Talley, a former LAPD SWAT negotiator turned small-town police chief, whose traumatic past collides with present-day terror when three desperate criminals take a wealthy family hostage in a fortified hillside mansion. The 2001 first edition, bound in navy-blue cloth with silver foil lettering, features a stark jacket design by Marc J. Cohen depicting a sniper’s crosshairs over a suburban home—an image that perfectly encapsulates the novel’s themes of vulnerability and surveillance.
