The son of one of New York's wealthiest families is snatched off
the street and held hostage. His parents can't save him, because
this kidnapper isn't demanding money. Instead, he quizzes his
prisoner on the price others pay for his life of luxury. In this
exam, wrong answers are fatal.
Detective Michael Bennett leads the investigation. With ten kids of
his own, he can't begin to understand what could lead someone to
target anyone's children. As another student disappears, another
powerful family uses their leverage and connections to turn up the
heat on the mayor, the press--anyone who will listen--to stop this
killer. Their reach extends all the way to the FBI, which sends its
top Abduction Specialist, Agent Emily Parker. Bennett's life--and
love life--suddenly get even more complicated.
Before Bennett has a chance to protest the FBI's intrusion on his
case, the mastermind changes his routine. His plan leads up to the
most devastating demonstration yet--one that could bring
cataclysmic ruin to every inch of New York City.
This was a non-stop thriller, with twist and turns throughout the
book. And finally, Michael Bennett may be getting a little romance
into his life, with his Nanny Mary Cathrine. I love the
inter-actions Michael has with his grand-father and his children,
they are a very funny bunch. I can't wait for the next book in this
series.
