    Forgotten the name/author of a book I have read

    Discussion in 'Discussion of Published Works' started by balgay, Apr 25, 2024.

    This is a long shot but I have spent hours trying to track down the title/author of a book I read a few years ago. It was a crime/thriller and I usually read well-known crime fiction authors and it was a traditionally published paperback.
    The plot involves a scene where a female police detective attends a meeting of swingers in a car park or possibly a dogging location. After the swingers party has finished she is snatched and held hostage. The main plot revolves around the police attempts to find her. The protagonist is, I think, a detective. I think it was one book in a series. I thought it was Peter James but I have checked the blurb on all his books and nothing fits.
    I will check out any suggestions so don't worry if you are not sure just fire away.

    I got nothing. I'd remember that part.

    Sounds like one of those Swedish crime novels.

    Sounds like something Harlan Coben might write?

    Yes, it does but I have not read Coben for many years. Will have a look anyway.
