Experience a Panic Attack!

Jason Starr's Panic Attack is a taut, psychological thriller that will leave you breathless from the minute you open the first page. The story centers around Dr. Adam Bloom, who is living the perfect life in a beautiful home with his wife and their twenty-two year old daughter, Marissa, a recent college graduate. Dr. Bloom's life is wonderful until one night when his daughter wakes him up with the announcement that "someone is downstairs." Dr. Bloom heroically kills one of the unarmed thieves, but the other one escapes--this begins a harrowing ordeal as Dr. Bloom and his family face the daily fear that the other thief knows where they live, is lurking around every corner, and wants to seek revenge for the death of his friend. The fear of not knowing when the thief might re-appear creates a rocky relationship between Adam and Dana, his wife, and when Marissa meets a suspiciously-acting artist named Xan, Dr. Bloom begins to suspect that his life is about to get much worse. This is a wonderfully written, action-packed story that tempts you to read it all in one sitting. If you like this story, try also reading 24 Hours by Greg Iles--it too is an "edge-of-your-seat" thriller full of non-stop action.
