The clock is ticking as a husband frantically tries to save his abducted wife in this fast-paced crime novel by âa real proâ (The New York Times Book Review). Â Twenty-five grand if he wants his wife back alive. Thatâs the demand on the ransom note Lloyd Johnson found sitting in his typewriter. It has to be in unmarked billsâand it has to be delivered in five days. Â To make it worse, the kidnapper dropped the names of his previous victimsâone whoâd made it back home to her husband, and one who hadnât. Armed with this information, Johnson hopes further investigation of those cases will improve hisâand his wifeâsâchances. But the more he learns, the worse things look, and time is running out, in this twisting tale by the Edgar Awardâwinning author.
