Mind Prey, by John Sandford

A woman psychiatrist and her two daughters are abducted by someone who's an ex-patient. The woman has political connections, and Davenport is brought in to help.

Another good one. Although looking back on it the framework for the story is fairly standard, I was never quite sure exactly how it was going to work out: there were a couple of places I thought "oh, we've found this out, but we're only a third through the book".

The psycho in this case was a fan of role playing games, and so knew Davenport and taunted him, when he found that Lucas was involved in the investigation. This would have seemed a bit contrived if I'd not already read several of these books and known about Davenport's back-story.

Will be worth reading again.
