The book Deadline was written by Simon Kernick and was published in 2008.
In the book a woman, Andrea comes back to her house late from work and then realized that her 14-year-old daughter has been taken, and the kidnapper wanted half a million pounds in cash. And she only had 48 hours. She is very frightened. Her husband who she married two years ago is also missing, and she doesn´t know where he is.
First she tries to get the money ready. On the next day she gets more than the half of the money ready. But she realizes that she is unable to do all that alone, so she calles her ex-husband from Spain to help her. He agrees and comes to her. On the second day she has the money ready, and the kidnapper calles her and tells her where she has to go and what she has to do, but he also tells her to come alone. But her ex-husband Chris goes with her, and so the kidnapper kills him in an awful way. Then they call Andrea and tell her that she has made a big mistake, and so she has to pay another half million pounds if she wants her daughter back. Now she is alone again. But on her way home a policeman stopps her and asks her why she is driving so fast, and while he is speaking he notices the blood on her jacket. So she tells the policeman everything. He takes her to the police station, and there she sees a detective she knows from the past, but they do both as if they don´t know each other.
The police tell her that they will help her to get her daughter back. At the end the detective who knew her, Bolt, is suspended from his work but at the same time he is just looking for the kidnapper, and finds him with the girl just going into a house. Bolt is without gun or weapon this time, but still goes there to help the girl. While he is fightening someone shoots with a gun out of the window at the kidnapper, so he dies. But this man, who shot disappears later. Bolt saves the girl and brings her home. Later they get to know that the man who shot was a very good friend of Bolt, but he is also involved in this kidnapping.
