A Maiden's Grave

A Maiden's Grave by Jeffery Deaver

From the Goodreads website "Eight vulnerable girls and their helpless teachers are forced off a school bus and held hostage. The madman who has them at gunpoint has a simple plan: one hostage an hour will die unless the demands are met. Called to the scene is Arthur Potter, the FBI's best hostage negotiator. He has a plan. But so does one of the hostages-a beautiful teacher who's willing to do anything to save the lives of her students. Now, the clock is ticking as a chilling game of cat and mouse begins."

Jeffery Deaver books rarely disappoint and this one was no exception.  I loved it right up til the very end and I still recommend reading it.  The ending was just a little too far fetched for me.
