SummaryThis time the good guys
wear black...
For the Negotiator, talk is never cheap. In a moment, he
has to make connections with the crazed and the desperate
and the lost. He has to promise, cajole, and placate.
Success is a rush. Failure would cripple a lesser man.
Above all, he must stay detached.
BECK WINTERS IS THE NEGOTIATOR.
Despite everything he's seen and done, Beck's still sane,
but only because he never allows himself to get close to
anyone. Then during a hostage incident, he hears a voice
over the phone line, Jennifer Barclays' voice.
Jennifer's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her plan
has always been to avoid excitement. But that was before
she was taken hostage...before the incident ended
badly...and before she met the Negotiator.
THE GUARDIANS...
This time the good guys wear black.
