Story:	 

24 Hours is Greg Iles's fifth novel in a little over seven years. Not surprisingly, 
it represents a sharp departure from everything that has come before. Iles's first 
two novels, Spandau Phoenix and Black Cross were big, ambitious historical thrillers 
set against the backdrop of World War II. They were followed, in turn, by Mortal Fear 
a sophisticated, high-tech serial killer story, and by 1999's The Quiet Game a contemp-
orary Southern Gothic rooted in the recent history of race relations in Mississippi. 
In deliberate contrast to these earlier novels, each of which operates on a grand, 
almost epic scale, 24 Hours is a spare, tightly compressed account of kidnapping and 
revenge that takes place, as the title implies, within a single, dramatic, 24 hour 
period.
