    |  | Phil Palmer finds his "insurance" premiums are going up when his wife is kidnapped and mercilessly tortured by Mr. G, a megalomaniacal, money-hungry Denver crime boss, who uses his immense wealth and an army of paramilitary thugs to realize his warped sense of ¡°justice.¡± As the ruthless mobster attempts to extort from Phil what he no longer has to offer, his persuasive tactics build with escalating creativity and brutal savagery, trapping Phil¡¯s hapless family in a slowly closing net of diabolical sadism and mind-bending pain. As Palmer scrambles to find someone he can trust to help him reverse the stacked odds that he faces, he learns that, when playing Mr. G¡¯s twisted game, only losers bluff¡ and winning requires him to put everything --- life, sanity, and family --- on the line!

    |  | A nice job of handling the familiar theme. Good characters, appropriate reactions, good building of suspense. Waiting for the next installment. (8/10)
