Debbie26's Full Review: Mary Higgins Clark - Silent Night

Before long Brian's mother and brother realize he is gone and a search for him begins. Meanwhile, Brian has followed the girl home only to find himself in a great deal of trouble when the girl's escape convict brother takes Brian hostage. During all of this Brian keeps his faith in the medal that he retrieves from the girl.
The story continues on this roller coaster ride as the reader anxiously waits to find out what will happen and if anyone will ever find Brian. The characters' faith is constantly tested during this unimaginable ordeal.
