Around the world, the children of the rich are disappearing . . . A
chilling thriller starring kidnapping expert Charles Boxer, "a great
character" (Kirkus Reviews).
Kidnapping expert Charles Boxer is contemplating retirement. He's found
a measure of contentment, even as a mystery from his own past gnaws at
his sense of justice. Meanwhile, his ex-wife, Mercy, balances a
complicated personal life with an even more precarious professional one
in the woefully under-resourced metropolitan police department. But both
are suddenly pulled back into action when six children of ultrawealthy
families vanish--families from India, China, Russia, Australia, Germany,
and the United States--taken by a ruthlessly efficient organization with
a single astonishing demand.
Trapped, off-balance, and with little left to lose, they plunge into a
cauldron of warring intelligence agencies, morally destitute
billionaires, and human traffickers, coming finally to a fateful
reckoning that will forever change them--in this smart, suspenseful
thriller by a Gold Dagger and Gumshoe Award-winning author.
"A great character whose emotional trials are exciting to
follow."--Kirkus Reviews
