From Booklist
Although retired from the police force, Naomi Blake, who lost her career when an accident left her blind, can't stay away from crime solving. One sultry morning, she is in her bank in the Midlands of England when robbers burst through the door. Naomi figures if everyone stays calm, the robbers will take the money and run. But four police cars with sirens blaring and a policeman eager to be a hero put paid to that idea. Instead, the robbers take the bank's customers, including Naomi, hostage. Naomi's boyfriend, cop Alec Friedman, arrives on the scene and is shocked to learn that Naomi is one of the hostages--and has a past with one of the robbers. Starting off with a bang, Adams' novel rockets along at high speed to a shocking ending. Good writing, a unique heroine, and an inventive plot add up to a very readable thriller.
