Praised for its relentless pacing, strong female protagonist, and masterful plot twists, this 14th installment in the Tess Winnett series has earned a 4.5-star rating from over 100 readers and ranks highly among psychological thrillers. ## Description Where her daughter had played Gretel in front of a cheering audience, only two faint stage lights remained. The theater was deserted and eerily silent; the only sound she could hear was her own heart, pounding in a frenzy against her chest. She rushed outside and stopped sharply at the top of the stairs, stunned, her blood turned to icicles. Darkness had fallen, thick and filled with ocean mist, lampposts like ghosts sprinkling yellow haloes in the sky. Paige was gone. They'd taken her little girl. "Wow. I think I just fell head over heels in love with a fictional character. Tess Winnett is one of the smartest FBI agents and profilers I have come across yet and with analytical skills to rival Sherlock Holmes. Hats off to Leslie Wolfe for easily the best thriller I have read in this genre for many, many years!" - Manie Kilianon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The girl: taken After eight-year-old Paige disappears without a trace, FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett is called to investigate one of the boldest kidnappings the bureau has seen. The girl was taken from a theater filled with witnesses, in the middle of a children's play. And no one saw anything. Starting a frenzied search and following leads that seem to suggest a link to the girl's father, the state district attorney, Tess is stunned to learn of a ransom call that points to an entirely different motive, old as time itself: money. The first twenty-four hours: critical Frantic for answers and painfully aware of each passing moment, Tess has a choice to make: trust her instinct and follow the leads that seem to indicate an organized crime connection? Or give in to the demands of the parents and assist with the ransom payment? The odds of finding Paige alive drop with every passing second, and making the wrong choice would seal her fate. Her blood would be on her hands. The best-selling author of Dawn Girl is back with another suspenseful, gripping crime thriller. If you're a fan of David Baldacci, Melinda Leigh, and James Patterson, you will enjoy Leslie Wolfe's enthralling police procedural that will keep you reading until the early morning hours.

Her stories keep you glued to the story with always a surprising ending." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Twist upon twist. You won't be able to put this down." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I can't wait to read the next book in the series and other books by Leslie Wolfe!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: Awesome! - Page turner. Can't put down! Review: Gotta love Tess Winnett!! - Just finished The Girl They Took and loved it. This is the 8th Tess Winnett book and each one gets better and better. Leslie Wolfe is one of my favorite authors and this is the 14th book I have read from this author. I will say that Tess is my favorite, one of the best characters in this genre. Tess is fierce, takes no prisoners, does not follow the rules when they interfere with her finding justice for the victims. She is stubborn, opinionated and goes all out to catch the bad guys. Yet, deep inside she is a gentle caring soul. They way she looks after Cal and, in this book, the tears she was afraid to shed for Paige and her mother. Thank you Leslie Wolfe for another great book and the time spent enjoying it. Can not wait for the next one! ## Features - Item Category: Abis Book - Item Trademark: Italics Publishing - manufacturer: Italics Publishing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #403,850 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,200 in Psychological Thrillers #43,997 in Genre Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 113 Reviews | ## Images ![The Girl They Took - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XUlDYhh0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome! *by J***N on 3 March 2026* Page turner.
