A great collaboration between two hard-hitting writers of gritty thrillers featuring their iconic - and internally conflicted - heroes. Konrath's "Jack Daniels" and Lindsey's "Gavin English" make a fine team in this straightforward suspense story. A missing ring, a hostage situation, and humorous repartee all work together to provide some edge-of-your seat thrills typical of these Jack Daniels collaborations that are just now being released. Babysitting Money is a great addition to the series. ( )
