On May 15, 1975, fifteen-year old Ginny Lemon is abducted on a convenience store in Fort Lauderdale by a member of one of the most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs in South Florida.
From that moment on, her life if forever changed. She gets a new name, anew identity and a new life in the midst of the gang's base on the edge of the Florida Everglades---a frightening, rough and violent world much like the swamps themselves, where everyone has an alias and loyalty is tantamount to survival.And at the center of it all is the gang's leader, Grizz: massive, ruggedly handsome, terrifying and somehow, when it come to Ginny, tender. She becomes his obsession and the one true love of his life.
So begins a tale of emotional obsession and manipulation, of a young woman ripped from everything she knows and forced to lean on the one person who provides attention, affection and care: her captor. Precocious and intelligent, but still very much a teenager, Ginny struggles to adapt to her existence, initially fighting and then coming to term with her captivity.
Will she be recued? Will she escape? Will she get out alive-or get out at all? Part psychological thriller, part coming-of-age novel, filled with mystery, romance and unexpected turns, Nine Minutes takes readers into the world of one motorcycle gang and inside the heart of a young girl, whose abduction brought about its fall.
