The Second Hostage is a novella in the Colter Shaw series by American author, Jeffery Deaver. In Kansas on the trail of a missing teen, Colter Shaw is in a small-town police station requesting information just as the call about a hostage situation comes in. The deputy sheriff takes him along as the only available professional with any hostage experience. Negotiations are progressing fairly well when the bombastic sheriff arrives and banishes Colter from the scene. But Colter has already assessed the situation and isn’t about to abandon the hostage. A clever little novella that also includes an excerpt of 2 The Goodbye Man.
