"Pressure Drop" is an interesting novel where the a down-on-his-luck club owner/diver and a New Yorker with a missing child meet up. Nina Kitchener only wanted to have a child, and with the help of a mysterious sperm bank, she did. But then her child is kidnapped, and she sets about trying to find it. The truth leads her to the Bahamas and a final showdown with a ex-Nazi eugenist who has been in hiding for fifty years. The thrills never ended, and it was better than "Fury of Rachel Monette" which had some similaries.

So far of all his novels, only one gets less than 5 stars. This book was trilling from beginning to end. Peter Abrahams has an ability to create exciting plots and very real people who take part in them. Could not put this book down. The plot deals with the kidnapping of babies and also with detailed descriptions of scuba diving. A very unusual combination but it works terrifically. Few men writers are so able to get into a woman's mind. It's really time that this book and some of his earlier works are brought back into print.
