Synopsis

For years, the serial kidnapper known as the Piper got rich by abducting children from San Francisco’s wealthiest families.When crime reporter Scott Fleetwood gets a call from a man identifying himself as the Piper and offers an exclusive interview, Fleetwood jumps at the chance. But the caller turns out to be a fake, and the rash decision costs the life of the real Piper’s latest victim.For eight long years, Fleetwood has lived with unbearable guilt—and the enduring disdain of the entire Bay area. Now he hears from the real Piper—and it’s not for an interview. The kidnapper has the reporter’s son. But he doesn’t want money…he wants blood. And he’s going to use Fleetwood to get it.In the tradition of Harlan Coben and Gregg Hurwitz, Simon Wood weaves a plot thick with suspense and heavy with action. Paying the Piper grabs hold from page one and doesn’t let go until new debts are paid and old scores settled.

If you are a fan of Harlan......more

Thrilling edge of your seat ride from start to finish. I literally couldn’t put it down. Every time I thought I had it figured out, there was another twist. Very much looking forward to reading Saving Grace now.......more

Goodreads review by Sandy on April 25, 2012

I had so many “ah” moments with this book that I just have to give it 5 stars! One night I woke up frantically wondering if my own children where in their beds, only to realize they were either sleeping in their college dorm room or living at their own house…. that’s how drawn in I got. This is a fi......more

Goodreads review by Ed on April 12, 2011

I'm not a big fan of the child-in-peril thrillers. That said, Simon Wood keeps that part within the respectable PG-13 bounds in Paying the Piper. We've been table-of-content mates in short fiction anthologies. I liked his sense of pace, nifty plot twists, and well-drawn characters, particularly the......more

Sicher nicht mein letztes Buch von Simon Wood. Scott Fleetwood war ein aufstrebender Kriminalreporter als der berüchtigte "Kinderfänger" ihm ein exklusives Interview angeboten hat.
