Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

New York City news anchor Eliza Blake, now back at the morning TV show KEY to America, pays a price for her high media profile in this riveting novel of suspense from bestseller Clark (When Day Breaks). When kidnappers seize Eliza's seven-year-old daughter, Janie, and Eliza's Hispanic housekeeper on their way home from camp in New Jersey, Eliza's comfortable life turns into a living nightmare. The FBI, local law enforcement and Eliza's news team work around the clock to discover the identities and locations of the kidnappers. When a psychic arrives at Eliza's doorstep, claiming to know details of the kidnapping that weren't released to the press, Eliza is convinced that the psychic can help find Janie. Suspicious letters, ransom notes and mysterious clues heighten the suspense. A multitude of red herrings will keep the reader guessing to the shocking conclusion. (Aug.)

Product Description

A seasoned television professional—the host of the top-rated KEY News morning show—Eliza Blake has reported on tragedies many times from behind the anchor's desk . . . and she has survived devastating crises of her own. But only now is she learning the true meaning of terror when her seven-year-old daughter, Janie, is kidnapped from summer camp. Forced to suffer through a mother's worst nightmare in the glare of the camera lights, Eliza finds herself trapped in a media circus as the police and FBI explore every avenue . . . and every lead winds up at a dead end.

But Eliza isn't going to just sit around and wait for answers—because every minute wasted in the desperate race to reveal the shocking motives of a ruthless abductor brings a frightened little girl one minute closer to her death.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAST-PACED AND COMPELLING, Aug 3 2008
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   



Broadcast journalism, as we know, is an exciting sometimes no-holds-barred field, and that is where Mary Jane Clark spent almost 30 years of her professional life. She knows that world well and she brings it to stunning life. Not only is Clark a former writer and producer for CBS News but her father was an FBI agent who investigated headline grabbing kidnaping and extortion cases, such as the Patty Hearst case and the kidnaping of Calvin Klein's daughter. As Clark has said, "kidnaping was my father's specialty......and I paid a lot of attention to the details at an impressionable age."

Now, bring together her knowledge of the broadcast journalist's life with her memories of what she learned from her father and you have a wow of a story, a can't-stop-reading suspense tale propelled by sharp dialogue and heart thumping twists.

With the second book in Clark's Sunrise Suspense society series we find Eliza Blake preparing for one more interview. Hers is a face much of the world knows as she's the host of one of our country's top-rated television programs - KEY to America. She's also a widow with Janie, a seven-year-old daughter whom she adores. Janie is reminded of her mother's devotion when the housekeeper, Mrs. Garcia, calls her "tesoro," explaining that the word means treasure, and says, " You are your mama's tesoro. She loves you more than anything."

That love is reiterated in Eliza's interview when the reporter asks her about Janie, and she replies, "Janie is my top priority."

With this background readers more than empathize with Eliza, they almost feel her pain when Janie is kidnaped. Two intruders wearing Popeye and Olive Oyl masks break into the Clark household one morning, and terrorize Mrs. Garcia into making a call to Janie's day camp saying that she must come and pick up the child as her mother needs her.

When Eliza returns home after a long day at work she is somewhat surprised not to find Mrs. Garcia there, but assumes she has gone on an errand. But Janie's camp bus should have delivered her to the house at 5:30, and it is soon past six. With fear filled l voice Eliza calls the police, and the chase begins. However, the combined efforts of law enforcement aren't enough. Eliza turns to her friends - Annabelle Murphy, blessed with incredible instincts; B. J. D'Ellia, photographer extra ordinaire; and Margot Gonzalez, who knows criminal minds.

It Only Takes A Moment fires forward from the first page, bristling with pinpoint characterizations and plotting par excellence. A compelling read!
