Everyone has a bad day. Graduate student Ian Nash has lost his girlfriend in addition to being dropped from a Ph.D. program in theatre at a Southern California university. When he stops at a local coffee shop in the lobby of a bank to apply for a job, the proverbial organic matter hits the fan. A gang of four robs the bank, and things get bloody. Ian is taken hostage by the robbers when the police show up. Now he has to save his life.

FBI Special Agent Aleece Medina’s analysis of the bloody bank heist drives her into the pursuit of a robbery gang headed by two women. She doesn’t anticipate how this robbery will pit her against both the bandits and the male higher-ups in the FBI while the media heats up during a giant manhunt.

The robbers are about to kill Ian, and all he has at hand is his knowledge of the stage.

About Christopher Meeks:

Christopher Meeks first published short fiction in a number of literary journals, and the stories are available in two collections, The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and Months and Seasons. Recently, he’s focused on novels. The Brightest Moon of the Century is a story of a man who yearns for love and success, covering over thirty years—a tale that Marc Schuster of Small Press Reviewsdescribes as “a great and truly humane novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens and John Irving.” His last novel, Love At Absolute Zero, is about a physicist who uses the tools of science to find his soul mate–and he has just three days. Critic Grady Harp calls the book “a gift.” The new novel, Blood Drama, has him edge into a thriller. Meeks also runs White Whisker Books and publishes four authors.

My review;

      All Ian Nash wants to do is apply for a job at a coffee shop. After that his next stop is the nearby bank. He is minding his own business when he sees a woman comes in and he is attracted to her. He tries more than once to get her attention and when he finally does he wished he had never even looked her way.
    She immediately screams that it is a hold up while she waves a gun. As he tries to make himself less noticeable, but, it is just his luck that the woman would pick him for their hostage. What follows is Ian trying to stay alive while being terrified every moment that goes by. This is a fast paced novel that holds your interest from the  beginning. I enjoyed the twists and turns. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
