All the Way Down by Eric Beetner
5.0
A thriller. A page-turner. Can't put down kind of book. These are some of the emotions I felt when reading 'All The Way Down' by Eric Beetner.
We are introduced to Dale Burnett, a cop who has got on the wrong side of the law by taking payouts from a kingpin named Tat. He has skated by under the radar with his crimes or so he thinks until he is summoned in to the Chief of Police's office one morning. Dale is tasked with the job of rescuing the mayor's daughter Lauren O'Brien who has been kidnapped and holed up in his fortress of a building. Lauren, a journalist had been trying to get to the root of a story to bring down Tat's organisation and uncovering her father's corruption in the process too. Dale is left with no choice but to accept the impossible mission as the Chief & Mayor are fully aware of his dealings with Tat.
Dale goes in to the building unarmed and pleading for the safe return of Lauren hoping his good reputation with Tat will bear fruit. What entails after this is a hell-of-a-ride, starting out on the 15th floor as they try to escape the building unarmed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book (thanks NetGalley) and it was so reminiscent of a Die-Hard like movie (even a slight nod to Die Hard in the book - nicely done). We are pulled in to this roller-coaster ride of a novel, so hold on to your seats for this one.
