Sometimes it’s not about revenge, it’s about the journey back to sanity

Mystery writer Mark Shaver’s third book entitled, “A Critical Loss of Balance,” is a suspenseful thriller about every parent’s worst nightmare – your very own child being kidnapped – and the circumstances that follow.

Cliff Elliott thought he had endured the worst thing a parent could endure when his nine year old daughter was kidnapped, but he was wrong.  The circumstances that led to her return were far worse than anything he could have imagined and suddenly Cliff’s entire life was cast out of balance.

‘A Critical Loss of Balance’ is available for purchase on www.MarkShaversMysteries.com at the special promotional price of $12.99 or $3.99 for digital download; simply type the word “BALANCE” into the “discount code” box for this offer at www.MarkShaversMysteries.com/landing.html.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The city was in crisis.  Fear had gripped the population as a serial kidnapper preyed on the children of the city’s wealthiest families, striking quick and collecting ransoms without leaving a trace of evidence.  Despite the best efforts of law enforcement, their methods remained flawless and their crimes were perfect.  No one knew who they were or how to stop them, so the kidnappings went on, and on.  They were the lead story on the front page every morning when Cliff Elliott read the newspaper; another kidnapping, another ransom and another family torn apart.

As heartbreaking and unsettling as Cliff considered the kidnappings to be, his financial lot in life kept him from worrying too much about his own daughter being kidnapped.  His feet were planted firmly in a middle class neighborhood and his lifestyle reflected it.  No; his daughter would never be a target.  Sadly he was wrong; very wrong.   He realized it the day his daughter was kidnapped.  Her kidnapping however was different from all the others.  There was no contact made by the kidnappers.  No communication at all was attempted and no ransom was demanded.  She was just…gone.

Cliff lost more than his daughter that day.  He didn’t realize it until he came face to face with the tragic turn of events that led to her return.  At that point there was no escaping it.  Everything in his life felt wrong.  His entire being was painfully out of balance; a balance that only one thing could restore.  Cliff knew what that one thing was.  There was only one question he had to answer; was he capable of doing it?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
