Description

In this New York Times bestseller from James Patterson, six kidnappers pursue a whopping ten-figure payout in this thrilling novel.

Five members of a billionaire's family. In different locations. All kidnapped at the same moment.

Two children taken from a private-school bus. A film producer and a movie star grabbed at a hideaway resort. A beautiful wife whisked off the streets of Beverly Hills. A patriarch wants his family back. The cash, gold, jewels, and crypto are all ready.

There's only one problem: a brilliant, very stubborn FBI agent. Special Agent Nicky Gordon doesn't want to pay the kidnappers. Not a dime.
