Kidnap & Ransom

When Naomi Shaffer gets kidnapped in South Africa on business, Dominic King quickly establishes that the kidnappers are amateur street kids and in over their heads. King flies to Cape Town to appease the kidnappers’ demand by promising $100,000 in cash. Everything seems to be going smoothly but at the handoff things go horribly wrong.

The amateur kidnappers have been superseded by a group that is much more professional, with a mysterious British man, Willard, in charge. After tough negotiations with Dominic, Willard agrees to release Naomi and Dominic brings Naomi home. But Dominic suspects she’s holding something back.

Dominic’s fears for Naomi are proved correct when he finds out that her daughter Sally has been kidnapped. It quickly becomes clear that Willard is after something far more lucrative than money. Dominic allows the police to become involved but they underestimate the intelligence of the kidnappers, with shocking results.
