About this ebook
When a horrific school shooting turns into a hostage situation, only Gemma Capello, the NYPD’s most skilled negotiator, has a chance to save innocent lives and end the crisis . . .
Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s Brooklyn high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there is no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost.
One of the two shooters has holed up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages. Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
Praise for the NYPD Negotiators series
“Tense and tightly plotted, Exit Strategy pulls you in and doesn't let go. A compelling page-turner.” —New York Times bestselling author Marc Cameron

WOW! An absolute rush from the beginning to the exciting end! Detective Gemma Capello receives a call that students have taken over the high school; there are hostages and fatalities. As a member of HNT, the Hostage Negotiation Team, she heads to the school; the school that her nephew attends. Contacting one of the shooters, she has to get into his mind to get him to surrender and release the hostages. Will she get him to surrender or will there be more deaths? I received an advance review copy.
