Grim Measures By David Darling

Grim Measures is a gut punch of a novella that explores a parent's worst nightmare and asks the question... what wouldn’t you do to get your child back?

Months after Ava was taken, the abductor offered John a chance to bring his daughter home, but he had to perform several tasks. First on the list was killing FBI Special Agent Robert Rothman, lead investigator on the case—after that, things only got worse. Without his daughter, nothing else mattered. So, John clung to hope as he prepared to darken his soul.


David Darling’s trademark crisp writing and lightning fast pacing is once again on display in Grim Measures. Even with the reduced word count of a novella, there is enough physical action and psychological intrigue to keep readers engaged to the very end.
