Gina was rescued, but Max blamed himself for her attack. He fell hard for the beautiful, brave Gina and was devasted when she was raped and beaten by the hijackers. In the book Over the Edge, Max met Gina Vitagliano while she was held hostage on a hijacked plane. This begins the legend of Max Bhagat, cold, efficient, perfect, and a leader whose team will follow him into hell wearing gasoline suits. Normally Max wears plain white briefs, but that morning he had put on some rhinestone bikini briefs (gift of an ex-girlfriend), and rather than take any teasing, he goes in commando, and quickly defuses the situation. And when I say unarmed, I mean buck naked. The team leader wants to kill the robber since he will not answer the phone, but Max realizes that the robber is deaf and can’t hear the phone ringing, so he goes in unarmed to negotiate. The opening chapter takes place in 1986 and features young and brash Max Bhagat during a stand-off at a bank robbery. On the whole I enjoyed the book, but a few pin-pricks kept it from being as strong an entry as some of the other titles in this long-running series. Jules Cassidy is in the story too, still pining from his break-up with Robin from Hot Target. Suzanne Brockmann gets Max Bhagat and Gina Vitagliano together in Breaking Point, and ties up some loose ends with Molly and Jones.
