About this ebook

When Bobby and Susan Martin come across a dirty, shivering child at their campsite, the last thing the childless couple expects is to be drawn into an unthinkable crime. But when one of the boy's kidnappers comes out of the brush waving a gun, Bobby is forced to react. In one chaotic, explosive moment, the predator is brutally murdered. But was he a criminal -- or a cop?
With a vicious crime ring closing in on them, and unsure of whom to trust, Bobby and Susan desperately plunge into the heart of danger to save the boy -- and themselves.
John Gilstrap's Even Steven enhances his reputation as an ingenious and innovative contemporary thriller writer.

Ratings and reviews

Gilstraps books good, especially when reading what is actually happening. But for me the endless pages of all the scenerios going thru the characters heads, "what there thiinking" are way too loooooooooong!

It starts out a little slow but it gets going pretty good. I liked the storey line.

This is second to Nathan's Run as my favorite book. At All Cost isn't far behind either.
